The New Year reflects the beginning of a new era. It is leap to a new beginning that men have been looking forward year after year. People around the world make all the necessary preparations to welcome the coming New Year.
Grocery stores, shopping markets, malls, and specialty stores are filled with people trying to make their last minute purchases of party supplies. Party hats and popper firecrackers are being sold out from the store shelves. Specialty foods are being ordered for the evening parties. Wow! Yes, the coming New Year is something major.
As I have been waiting for a few more minutes before the clock strikes 12 midnight, I turned on my tv just in time to view the events around the globe. Big cities from foreign countries have started to celebrate the New Year as soon as their respective time zones reached twelve o’clock in the evening.
Yes, as this event comes, people from around the world make a festive celebration. You can hear people making the countdown to midnight. Cities have spent so much for the different fireworks on display - from Australia, Hong Kong, New York, London, and many other big cities. It is just so amazing!
People embrace each other in jubilee. You can hear the deafening screams of excitement and cheer. People exchange greetings through text messages and social media sites. There’s just so much joy engulfing the whole wide world.
But why do people celebrate the New Year? As different television stations make a quick review of the events that have transpired the outgoing year, they feature unforgettable events – not just successful occasions but even the embarrassing, difficult, and sad moments of the year. They also try to feature the rise of new faces in history, as well as the downfall of famous personalities.
As the New Year comes, in general, we celebrate the achievements done in the outgoing year and welcome with hope the coming of another year in our lives. But just as I was pondering upon all these things, I just simply wondered, what would it be when this old sinful world comes to an end and Jesus Christ comes to take his children home?
Have the people of this world been making the necessary preparations for the coming of Jesus? Will people around the world be joyful enough to celebrate the coming of our Lord? Will there be festive celebrations to meet the coming King of Kings?
Whatever Bible you have, whether it is a large print Bible or a KJV Bible, you will note in John 14:1-3 that Jesus said “I will come again…” When Jesus was rising to heaven as he left earth, two angels appeared to His disciples and told them, this same Jesus will come back in the same way when He went to heaven. Will you believe when Jesus himself said He will come again? Personally, my answer to that is a big YES. Would two angels be lying to the people that Jesus will be coming back? I don’t think so.
Will the year when Jesus comes back be the most exciting New Year ever? Or, will you be there to welcome Him when He comes?
