Happy New Year should be more than just a casual greeting or salutation for the disciple of Jesus Christ. It really should be a declaration. In "The Beatitudes", Jesus opens His mouth and taught the multitudes and His disciples a series of of "Blessed are the . . ." A study of the word "Blessed" here in Matthew 5:1-11, would let us know that this word is translated "Happy". So when we say Happy New Year to a fellow believer in Christ or even to a neighbor or to someone in a store, we are actually making a declaration to them that this New Year - a year we have not seen before shall be a Blessed Year. It's a declaration!
You know we have been given that authority and privledge through our relationship with the Lord to speak such things in advance by faith. Let's make a declaration, Carolina University students and alumni that this year will indeed be a Blessed and Happy New Year for the University and for your individual lives and the lives of your loved ones.
And again, Happy New Year!!!
