This
issue
is
entitled, Genesis:
Origins and New
Beginnings
It is very fitting
as we welcome a
new year 2016, we
look forward with anticipation and some
amount of apprehension as well as we
garner our strength and motivation to
get into the throes of projects, plans
and resolutions for this new year. The
long, cold, grey, gloomy, Winter will
soon be behind us and so as we prepare
for the new thrust of Spring we at
SHARE Magazine pray that you will also
experience either a New birth to Life or
a Renewal of your faith, during this
time of transition.
The long frost anaesthetized both flora
and fauna alike and sent animals into
hibernation and sloth bringing them
to an almost stand still, a near death, a
dormancy. Then the brilliant rays of
Spring sunshine, melts away the snow,
creating torrents of well needed rain,
chasing away overcast clouds with their
warmth. This sun in Spring, causes
the bulbs buried beneath the soil to
germinate and burrow upwards to the
life giving light; absorbing its energy to
sprout and blossom, transforming the
barren landscape into a cornucopia of
aesthetic delight and aromatic joy. Nature
begins to display her bounty and beauty
a new cycle of life has begun from the
death of Winter new life has sprung.
Let’s take our lessons from Nature!
Similarly, when we encounter Jesus Christ
He, the Life Giving God, transforms us
into new creations. 2 Cor 5:17 “...anyone
who is joined to Christ is a new being; the old is
gone, the new has come. (GNT)
In this issue, we go back to the book of
Genesis to plot mankind’s journey in
relation to God as his creator. There are
many life lessons to be learnt and many
applications to study if we are to escape
the pitfalls of our predecessors. Everyday
is a school and so let’s learn together as
we go back to basics. Let’s throw off
death forming habits and swing into new
Life in Christ.
Editorial Corrections
In the last issue (October 2015) I said in
my editorial that the Berean saints were
mentioned in the Old Testament. I am
sorry, I meant the sons of Issachar (see 1
Chronicles 12:32). The saints from Berea
were spoken of in Acts 17.
I remain in Jesus’ Service. Love as always
