John, in his vision, promises a day when we’ll see no more death, nor crying, nor pain. “The first things have passed away.” God has promised to “make all things new.” I look forward to that day with great hope! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To me, the New Year is about introspection, a time for a new beginning. It’s a time to reflect on what has been, and a time to resolve to be better, with God’s help. It’s a time to look forward, and to hope. What better way, than to consult God’s Word? The Apostle John, in God’s Revelation, provides such a hope to us.
