Welcome to Issue 53

“This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!” 2 Corinthians 5:17 NLT

Dear friends,

Welcome to the spring edition of REACH Magazine! With inspiring articles and uplifting updates of CBN’s ministry from Europe and around the globe, I hope that this issue will bless you, encourage you and give you a new perspective.

Gordon Robertson writes about ‘waking up to new life in Christ’, and the newness of life God has for us. As spring is bursting forth life in all its fullness, and nature itself declares the glory of God (Romans 1:20), we are reminded of the richness of life He wants us to experience every day.

I don’t know about you, but I am more of a spring and summer person than a winter person. The winter for me is a season where everything is a little harder and takes a little more effort. Perhaps because the days are short, and I miss the warmth of the sun. For someone like me, spring is the beginning of a new season, new life and leaving the old behind!

As we commemorate Easter, we celebrate how Jesus brought us new life and a new perspective. When we believe that Jesus died for our sins and rose again to give us eternal life. We receive new life and a promise for tomorrow! We become a new man or woman, a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17).

This is the Good News for you and me; and His name is Jesus! He came to give us life in all its fullness (read John 10:10), and He wants us to experience this life today! May this magazine help you draw closer to God and walk in the fullness of life He has for you. In the midst of the challenges you face, Jesus wants to help you and give you all you need for today!

Thank you CBN Partners for helping us share the Good News of Jesus to the nations. We love you and pray His richest blessings over you!

In Jesus,

Mark Dijkens
