Today is Chinese New Year 2563. The red color and fireworks coloring the various places. That said, this is the way people scare Nian, a giant who emerged late winter to eat the crops, livestock, and humans. Chinese culture is part of the cultural richness of about 16,696 ethnic groups in the world. Chinese tribe itself is the most populous ethnic group.
Every time I see the diversity of ethnicity, I am reminded of God's covenant with Abraham. A promise of blessing which includes land and lineage, inclusion and protection, and related to the responsibility of being a blessing to all peoples of the earth (verses 1-3). Appointments and responsibilities that apply to us now! The New Testament states that we are living by faith are children of Abraham. In Jesus Christ, the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles (Galatians 3:6-7, 14).
In the biggest celebration of the Chinese people let us raise a special prayer to God that more and more people from these tribes became "children of Abraham", so they also got the greatest blessings that will take them as part of all tribes and languages that glorify God throughout eternity (Revelation 5:9) - Joo
LET US GIVE LOVE AND PRAY TO NATION SO THE WHOLE EARTH EXALT CHRIST THE KING
