True Blessings for Our New Life, Not Just the New Year
True Blessings for our New Life, not just the New Year:
On The Beatitudes or 《八福》 “Eight Blessings” of Matthew 5:3-11
There are so many subjective ideas of what blessings are.
Will this be a blessed year? It has started on an ominous note as the world reels from the threats of new tariffs every day. Some may attribute this shaky start to a snaky year.
If, however, we don’t believe in an almanac or a zodiac, for blessings, where and how are we to be endowed with them?
Happy Lunar New Year!
The EAST President, Faculty, Students and Staff wish all a Blessed Lunar New Year!
“You crown the year with your bounty, and your carts overflow with abundance” – Psalm 65:11
The pinyin greeting of the Chinese couplet is:
主赐恩惠 (zhǔ cì ēn huì)
合家蒙福 (hé jiā méng fú)
The English equivalent is
“May the LORD grant His abundant grace and overflowing blessings to you and your family!”
Shalom.
