"... In thee shall all families of the earth be blessed" (Genesis 12:3)
A year Bible reading:
Genesis 32-34
Today is Chinese New Year 2563. The color red and fireworks coloring various places. That said, here's how to scare the Nian, a giant who appears late winter to feed on crops, livestock, and humans. Chinese culture is part of the cultural wealth of around 16 696 tribes in the world. Chinese tribe itself is the most populous ethnic group.
Every time I see ethnic diversity, I am reminded of God's covenant with Abraham. A promise of blessing which includes land and descendants, inclusion and protection, and the responsibilities associated with being a blessing to all the families of the earth (verses 1-3). Appointments and responsibilities that apply to us now! The New Testament states that we are to live by faith are children of Abraham. In Jesus Christ, the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles (Galatians 3:6-7,14).
In this biggest celebration of the Chinese let us raise a prayer to God in particular that more and more people from the tribes to be "children of Abraham", so they also got the greatest blessings that will take them as a part of all tribes and languages that glorify God throughout eternity (Revelation 5:9)
