The End is the New Beginning

We use a calendar that has 12 months and 365 days in it. As it nears December 31st, we feel as though something is getting close to an end, and yet on January 1st it feels like a new beginning. Our life is composed of many endings and beginnings. We may live one life, but within this one life we have many different journeys.

(References: Habakkuk 3:17)

474. The Lord Himself teaches us in John that He is life in Himself, and so life itself.

The Word was with God and the Word was God. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men, John 1:1, 4.

As the Father has life in Himself, so He granted to the Son to have life in Himself, John 5:26.

I am the way, truth and life, John 14:6.

He who follows me will have the light of life, John 8:12.
