What Does The Bible Say About That?

The New Year
2 Cor. 5:17-18
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”
What do people appreciate about the new year? It is a chance to start anew. There’s a new calendar, with a new month in a new year. It makes us remember that each day is important, every day is a new opportunity.

I’ve said that the amazing thing about the birth of the Savior of the world is that it was so humble and quiet so that it was almost unknown. Do you know that if God hadn’t announced to the shepherds about Jesus’ birth that no one would have seen the Messiah was born that night? If you were going to see God’s special Son at His birth or soon after, it would take something special. You would have had to be around at that special point in history to be there. Many would see Jesus during His earthly ministry, but what if you were old when Jesus was born?
