It is January 2^nd. We just rang in a new year yesterday. It was a great day, as we look forward to better things in 2025. We have hope for many better returns in the new year.

At the start of every new year, we all make new year’s resolutions. We make these resolutions because we want things to be better in the upcoming year. However, usually by the second week of the new year, 75% of people have already broken their new year's resolutions, and by the end of January, that number jumps to over 90%.

The biggest winners from new year's resolutions are gym memberships and fitness machine companies.  Getting in shape is by far the number one resolution made every year. People go and buy gym membership or some expensive pieces of equipment for their home. The gyms are packed usually throughout the first 2 weeks of the year, but by February only the regulars are left. However, most people have pre-paid for the entire year of their membership, and those who buy that expensive piece of home fitness equipment, find that when they attempt to start using it in February, it is just a big dust collector and a reminder of their failure, and don't even try to keep using it.

Jesus’ will is for everyone to know Him. All He asks us to do is to share our relationship with Jesus with someone else.

For 2025, you can share your faith, your personal relationship with someone this year. Remember, it is not up to you to convert someone.  All Jesus asks us to do is to share our experience with Him with others. People want to know if it is real. Too many people share about Jesus, instead of what Jesus means to them.

It is a pretty easy resolution to keep. When we do it, Jesus says that He will bless you beyond measure, because that is what makes Him so happy.

We have a question on a banner in the back of our sanctuary, "If Jesus is the cause of your salvation, what have you done with Him in your life?

Jesus does not ask a lot.  All He wants you to do is share with others what Jesus means to you personally. You do not have to know the Bible to do that. It is your story with Jesus.
