Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. I remember this morning on the mountain. I couldn’t tell from this sunrise the weather for the day - would it be clear or full of rain as the weather predicted. It didn’t matter now as the clouds only made the morning beautiful. It was a new day and it was full of hope for the beauty that I would see that day. It turned out that there were clouds but also blue skies.
As we look forward to the new year it would be easy to be overwhelmed at the state of the world, our community, and even our own failures. There will be days full of clouds and times of darkness in the new year, but we have something greater than a hope for clear-sky trouble-free days. Like a sunrise made more beautiful by the clouds, we have a living hope in Jesus Christ, a promise that no matter what the day brings He will be there to give us new life. Prayer Lord of New Life Fill our hearts with hope today for the new life you have given us through Jesus Christ. We sing your praise for the inheritance that can never perish, spoil, or fade. Amen
