Is your
life back to normal since Christmas? I hope not! When the Magi departed from
their visit to Christ, they were warned by an angel to “return another way”
since Herod was secretly trying to kill Christ. “Then, being divinely warned in
a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed for their own
country another way” (Matthew 2.12) As
the first week of Christmas approaches an end, we should take the same advice,
and return to life “another way,” the way of repentance.
Just as
Herod sought to destroy Christ, many today still attempt daily to destroy His
Church and lead believers away from Him. With the New Year just around the
corner, many of us makes New Year’s Resolutions to live a better life; to quit
smoking, lose weight, travel to faraway places, or spending more time with
family. This year, make a resolution to establish a “new normal” in your
relationship with Christ.
