Romans 8:1-2 is one of the most assuring verses I know, and after suffering through the events of yesterday with the incursion into the Capitol, with images none of us can never erase from our memory, we need a way to Celebrate ’21, Everyone! It reads: “There is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. And because you belong to Him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death. . .Th spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, He will gibe life to your mortal bodies by the same Spirit living within you.” Susie Larson writes in “Blessings for Every Day,” these words. May they bless you today: “May God’s opinion matter far more to you than man’s opinion. May His dreams for you speak louder than your fears. May His forgiveness wash over every sin from your past. And may you rise up in the morning with the knowledge that He’s made you brand-new, through and through. No spot or stain on you!” So, no matter what happens, God loves us enough to make us righteous in His sight because of the Christmas gift that just keeps on giving, thank God. Jesus makes all things new, and He is the only hope for rebellious people who think only of themselves and their selfish desires.
