Perspective at the End of the Year – December 31, 2024
Manage episode 458322803 series 1162644
Since the children have flesh and blood, Jesus too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil—and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.
Hebrews 2:14,15

Often, at the end of the year, we remember those who died in the previous 364 days. We reflect on their lives and their impact on our lives.
Are you afraid of dying in the upcoming year? The Bible says you don’t have to fear what happens when your soul leaves your body. Jesus died. His soul left his body, and then he came back from the dead to tell us what will happen when we die.
Before Jesus took on a body and soul at Christmas, he could not die. But he purposefully became a human being so he could die. As a perfect human being, he did not deserve to die. But by dying anyway, he broke the power of the devil to accuse God of unfairness by allowing us to go to heaven even though we have sinned. Jesus died to pay the ultimate penalty for our sins.
Now, we have the promise that everyone who believes in him will not perish but will have eternal life. What a beautiful thing to look forward to in the new year and into eternity!
Prayer:
Lord, as I finish this year, dry my tears of sorrow, and grant me confidence in the forgiveness of sins, life, and salvation, through Jesus. Amen.
