A Christmas Transition (Genesis 49:8-12)
/The season of Christmas concludes with New Years. New Year’s Day is a day of transition of moving from an old year to a new year. It is our tradition to make resolutions and hope that the new year is better and more blessed than last year. This is not necessarily a bad thing provided that we are doing this in the confidence of the grace of God, but what should be the ultimate hope for the new year? What should be our focus as we move from this year to the next year? What can Jacob teach us about a struggled life in the Lord as he prepares for the ultimate transition from this age to being with our Lord?
