Looking Forward to Christ's Return, Let Us Live For Him Here-And-Now.

Revelation 1:1-8
2009 is a New Year. we look forward in faith. Looking to Jesus Christ, we look beyond the New Year. We look on to the eternal glory of God's everlasting Kingdom - "The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants what must soon take place" (Revelation 1:1); "He is "coming with the clouds" (Revelation 1:7). He is "the Alpha and the Omega (the A and the Z, the Beginning and the End), who is, and who was, and who is to come" (Revelation 1:8).
Many people speak about "New Year Resolutions." Let us pray for a 'new life revolution' - "a new creation in Christ Jesus" (2 Corinthians 5:17). Let there be revolution because there is revelation. In 2009, may our lives be changes by the Word of the Lord. May we learn to look more and more to Jesus. May we become more and more like Jesus. May we give more give more and more glory to Him. May He give more and more blessing to us. May we win more and more people for Him. In 2009, let there be more of Christ and less of self.
