And God said, "Let there be videos"
The Parallels Between Baptism and the New Year.
Many of us take the new year as an opportunity to draw plans for the future, and with all the anxieties and hardships ahead, we feel we have to accomplish so much. The Bible teaches us, however, that God loves us regardless of our accomplishments. After all, during the Baptism of Jesus, God expresses His love of Jesus before Jesus did anything significant. Indeed, Jesus's time on Earth is proof that God loves us so much that He is willing to walk with us, side by side, through whatever trials we face. Thus, as the year begins, let us not struggle as if our works define us, but move forward knowing that God already loves us. This way, every obstacle becomes not a burden, but an opportunity for us to grow our relationship with Christ and steward God's love to others.
