Pastors Corner 1-1-2012
I hope that each of you had a great Christmas and I want to share with you some thoughts about the upcoming year. Today is New Year’s Day and a lot of people celebrated its arrival last night at twelve o’clock with a lot of noise and fanfare. One sad thing is that for most of the people celebrating last night, this year will not be much different than last year. The fact is that people make grand vows and New Year’s resolutions that they will change something in their lives, but only a small percentage follows through with them more than a few days. Most will go on with their lives and repeat the process again next year. It is not that we cannot change behaviors, but we lack motivation or a clear incentive to change. In the Bible we can find hundreds of reasons to change our lives and I would like to offer only one. In Mathew 25:31-46 tells us about Jesus returning and separating Christians and non-Christians on the Day of Judgment and giving life eternal to one and to the other everlasting punishment. Neither resolutions or good intentions will make a person ready for heaven, salvation only comes through Jesus.
