"Jesus Christ the same, yesterday, and today, and forever." We do not begin a new year with a new Person. Blessed be God, He is known to us, as our Saviour who has redeemed us by His blood, as our Friend who has led us hitherto, and as our Lord whom we would bow to and obey. Let it be ours then to know more of Him; to say with Paul, " that I may know Him."
