New Life in Jesus

By Patra Mueller

For the past several years a thoughtful friend of mine has given me the gift of an amaryllis for Christmas.  When I receive it, its green leaves are tightly closed. But as the days of Christmas pass, the red blooms begin to peak through eventually exploding into four magnificent blossoms welcoming the new year.  

It is a beautiful reminder of the NEW LIFE we have in Jesus. Paul writes in Romans 6:10: “the same power that raised Jesus from the dead lives in us”. 

As we enter into this new year of 2023, remember that we are resurrection people! We have peace knowing that even in death we are victorious because we have the promise of the resurrection waiting for us. And in life, we claim His resurrection power over the losses we grieve and the challenges we face. We can look forward with confidence to the healing and strength that is ours in Jesus as we enter the new year. We don’t walk alone and daily we can claim the promises that “He will wipe away every tear from our eyes, and there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the former things have passed away. And Jesus is making all things new.” Revelation 21:5
