A sigRiaqantyear—1944.P u I rpw It is gune, We look Into the future end ask ourselves, what*q&ct? Shall we enter the new year With fear and trembling, or may we’face it'With courage? ' If man's 'knowledge and depend*-* 'billty are all we bay* sto stand on, ■wehadimtier be afraW. but thv# is .a real basis for courage and apsur- ance it we look to Goa, and to mis Word; We have: l . An Unfailing Christ (Matt. 1C; .13*20). , It is not enough that men reqog- •nize Christ as, a teacher, a moral Jeader, or .a man willing to die for His convictions. He must ,be mere if Ha is to deliver mankind,-and, thank ,God, He Is more. ' Peter.speakingby the guidance >-of God, declared Jesus to be “ the. iChrist, the Son of the;living God.” "Is this whatChrist is to you? There fare so many shabby, inadequate, in- jaccurate, limiting views of Christ to- Jday. Men will-give Him praise, but refuse Jto .give Him the honor .due ito Him (done. The only Christ that lever reaUyilved4stheGhrlstof the .New, Te^ament. endjhnt Christ is 'th£ omnipotent .and eternal'Son of •God. Any Christ less-than-thatifi « .false Christ, a Christ of -man's imagination. The .Christ of the New \Ttstfunent can gave; but no other Christ ia tha saviour of men" (Pel? onbefiWhites). 1 This ;Ghrist, the unfailing One, «atobUfhed a victorinuf Church, 'built en . the acceptance,of Him as God.'That “Church marches ,on into lii^. as it has entered every, other- year, assured that as It follows Christ, mud preaches God’a Word, there Is-reason for encoui agement and joy even In this Awful day. n . An Uplifting Faith (H Pet. 3:14-18). Christianity is not Just.a set of rules and regulations. It is a life. It must grow, and it does grow. The !really born-again believer cannot jstand still In his spiritual experi­ ence. He has a faith .which must fniove him forward and upward for •the glory of God. , This experience is called growing 'in grace, whichmeans that each day ■of this new year we as believers are ;.td become more like our Lord- We are to have stronger convictions, 1and at the same time we are to be ‘kinder and more loving. We are to be more forgiving, tenderer, ;more.eager to serve Christ. > Christian, have you made any spiritual progress In the year-1944? .If not it is because you have failed to take (Sod’s provisiQn’for your life. •You have let the enemies of your soul mislead you <v. 17). You have :not been diligent in your Christian life (v. 14). God does not want any believer to live a defeated life, not growing in grace and in: knowledge. And there :is the secret—study God’s Word in 1845. Learn more about God, and ,you will grow- That's .something to look forward to. Then note that this is to be in the ,light of the promised return of Christ (v;'l4). He may come in 1945. m . An Inspiring Hope (I John 3:1-3). We have already touched on the great hope of the Church—the com­ ing again of our Lord Jesus, and here it is presented as the inspira­ tion to holy living. Sometime* the world points a fin- gar of scorn at Christians, ex­ posing their weaknesses and fail? urts. It makes us ashamed and we resolve to do better* but we are not discouraged. The world doesn’t understand spiritual truth or Chris­ tian experience. We believers are "the children of God,” born again through faith in Jesus Christ. All that is involved in this new life dots not yet appear. It is hid­ den under the imperfections end the failure* of our lives. But it is there, and 0o« day when Jesus comes again it shall be made known. "We shall be like him.” Ah, that makes one square his shoulders and lift up his head to meat 1845 with as­ surance. Observe that tills hope of Christ’s return is not just a theological doc­ trine to discuss, or a religious slo­ gan to proclaim. It baa a tre­ mendously practical application. The one who expects Christ to come biok seeks that holiness of life which is spoken of in verse 3. He is coming. I must be ready to meat Him with joy. So my life—yes, the details of my daily life—must be right. What an incentive to real holy living! Well, here is rsal courage with which to meet the new year. May it be a blessed one in your life, no matter what the experiences and cir­ cumstances may be. God is in the new year.
