Jan. 7, 2007 - Epiphany
Yesterday, as many of you know, was "Epiphany". The day that we celebrate as the day the wisemen found Jesus. (Yes we dont' actually know when they found him...but it's just a holiday!). My mom was doing some research on Epiphany traditions. One lady wrote a little message on Epiphany and something you can 'get' from it.
She said that when the wisemen went to Jesus they knew that no, they could not go back the way the came and go tell Herod what they'd found. The knew that they'd have to go home a new way. In the same way, when people come to find Christ as their King and Savior they can not go back down the same road, instead they have to go on living a new life. They are changed for the better because of what they found in Jesus! She challenged anyone reading it to, be like the wisemen..to go on as better people, changed people who want to follow the ways of Jesus.
So, I leave you with that...In this new year, make a truly NEW year by giving Jesus a NEW you. One that strives to serve Him with EVERYTHING you are worth!
Happy New Year!
