Paul's beautiful confession is a sustaining resource today and tomorrow during all persecution, discrimination, war, and family breakdowns: If God is with us, who is against us? (Romans 8:31).  Let us look up to Jesus, the author and fulfiller of faith! (Hebrews 12:2), since He is the only authority for the Christian believer. While the universe is full of masters, it has only one servant, Jesus! He is the King of humility, turn your spiritual eyes to him and walk your ways in 2024 this way. I think of you with a prayerful heart, and I pray for you in Budapest/Hungary.
Soli Deo Gloria! 

May God bless readers of China Christian Daily richly this Chinese New Year, with good health, long-life, and a loving family. But most of all, may they know the blessing of forgiveness and a restored relationship with God as they turn to Jesus Christ as their Saviour and King. God bless all readers this Chinese New Year.

"Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."
 – Isaiah 40:30-31
Recall that your hopes in God will renew your strength, provide you dynamism and power to overcome any challenges that you face in this New Year.
Wishing you all a Happy New Year! 

The Spring Festival is a vibrant and joyful occasion that symbolizes a fresh start at the beginning of the Lunar New Year. Chinese Christians worldwide are embracing the festival to celebrate their cultural heritage and show compassion to each other. I want to pay tribute to the remarkable contribution that Chinese churches make to the common good. 
May the Year of the Dragon be a time of peace and hope for all!

As families gather across the country to celebrate the Lunar New Year, I pray that God's blessings and grace fill each home with warmth and joy. May your journeys be safe and filled with laughter, your reunions brimming with heartfelt conversations and renewed connections.
Remember, the love and compassion of Christ shone brightly through His family ties. May your interactions during this festive season reflect that same loving spirit. Share stories, exchange kind words, and show empathy to those around you. May this time of togetherness strengthen your bonds and inspire acts of kindness and generosity that radiate outward, contributing to a more peaceful and compassionate world.
Wishing you a joyful and blessed Lunar New Year!
