2020 has been a year unlike any other in recent memory. A worldwide pandemic. Natural disasters. Economic recessions. Social turmoil and unrest. An extremely polarizing election year. Changes everywhere—and not always for the better. For good reason, so many of us are glad to see the calendar change from 2020 to 2021, but will that joy last. Will there still be fear and uncertainty in 2021? Will there still be problems and challenges and hardships in 2021? Will there still be sorrow and grief, life and death in 2021? Of course. Every year in human history has been marked by such things. Why? We are sinful human beings living in a sinful world. Yet while our joy at the change of the calendar is short-lived, Jesus provides us with an everlasting joy—a joy that lasts. How is that possible? He is the Lord who saves us by his grace. He is the God who guides history for our eternal good. He is our Savior now and through all eternity.
