Since I have the privilege of writing the first spiritual message for the New Year, let me wish everyone a very BLESSED NEW YEAR! A year in which I hope our lives will be enriched by Christ presence in our hearts.

While it is New Year’s Day, we are still celebrating Christmas, celebrating Christ; the light that came into the world for all of us.

The Wise Men were compelled to find Jesus and when they did, they fell in love with Him.  Bowed down and worshiped Him. They gave Him gifts worthy of

*Their King
*Their God
*Their Sacrifice

So what gift do you bring to Jesus this Year? The gift Jesus is pleased with is when you lift up your voice singing songs of praise to Him. You say you can’t sing? No problem. God says He loves it when we make a “joyful noise.” He is pleased with the gift of your presence at church each Sunday so that you can take the Lord’s Supper. He loves it when we make eating with Him a priority in our lives. He is pleased with the gift of opening your Bible to learn more about Him.

God’s gift to us was His Son. Our gift to Him is our lives.

He is the light of the world. The one who brings hope to a world in pain. Let us hope that the light Christ brings into the world will light the pathways of peace. Make them straight. The pathways of love and yes the pathway to Him who was born that we might have eternal life.
