Jesus was born as the Son of God. Hebrews 1:3 says, "The Son radiates God's own glory and expresses the very character of God, and he sustains everything by the mighty power of his command. When he had cleansed us from our sins, he sat down in the place of honor at the right hand of the majestic God in heaven." Our Lord Jesus gave us the exact representation of our God the Father. When we see our Lord Jesus through the Bible, we see the character of our God the Father, for our Lord Jesus came to do the will of our God the Father. John 6:46 says, "No one has seen the Father except the one who is from God; only he has seen the Father." When our Lord Jesus was born, He came to show us the way to our God the Father and save us from our sins through His death on the cross and resurrection. Our relationship with our God the Father was restored because of our faith in our Lord Jesus.
As we approach the New Year 2025, let us be encouraged that no matter what happens, the Son of God, Jesus Christ, is with us. If our Lord Jesus takes care of us in 2024, He will certainly take care of us in 2025. The reason Jesus was born on Christmas day is to give us eternal hope—a hope that is not based on current events but on the consistent power of God at work in our lives. There is not a moment that we are outside of the presence of God because He always watches over His children. If our Lord Jesus was resurrected from the dead and now sitting at the right hand of our Heavenly Father, praying for us, we are always certain that we are secure in Him. Let us approach the New Year with great anticipation that our God will take care of us no matter what happens all around us. Let us have great expectations that God will accomplish great things through us. Let us not focus on what we can't do but on what God can do through us in 2025. It is time for us to completely rely on and trust our Lord Jesus.
Tonight, people all around the world will celebrate to welcome the coming New Year 2025. We will welcome 2025 with great anticipation that our Lord Jesus will take care of us and do great things through us.
