God himself ordered that it be a time of celebration . 12.4 says : " And this day shall be unto you for a memorial , and ye shall celebrate it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations a feast by an ordinance forever. "
The beginning of the year to mark the death of the lamb, the liberation of the people from slavery in Egypt.
Today we celebrate the death of the Lamb of God who came to free us from sin and open up access to heaven and to the throne of the Almighty . For this is a time of great celebration . Do not remember the struggles and pains of the past year , but I think that in the year that is beginning God Himself has given you reason to celebrate for all 365 days to come .
Happy new year! Happy 2014 to you all! Elias Eloy - Ministry Restoring Footpaths
