Dear Young Christian:
To someone like myself, it seems that just yesterday the world was anticipating the year 2000, or what was referred to as Y2K, the “new millennium.” Now here we are at the start of 2016, and any of you who were born in 2000 will turn 16 years old this year. Maybe you are looking forward to getting your driver’s license or some other landmark event in your life.
I am reminded of the verses, “For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that” (James 4:14-15). You may not think so now, but life is short. As believers we need to make every day count. We only have a little time to serve the Lord and shine for Him in this dark, sinful world, which is heading quickly for judgment. Before you know it, we’ll be looking back on the year 2016, if the Lord doesn’t come. Will we look back with the satisfaction that we lived our lives for the Lord?
Your Christian Friend,
Jim Hyland
