New Beginning

March!! Let us March on, the March Hare, Beware the Ides of March! These are all the things I think of when I think of this month. But the best thing about March? It’s a time for beginning.
According to the Jewish Calendar, the month of Nissan is the first month of the year, which coordinates with March-April. The Jewish calendar is based on three astronomical phenomena; the rotation of the Earth around its axis (one day); the revolution of the moon around the Earth (one month); and the revolution of the Earth around the sun (one year). Even though our Gregorian calendar has January as the first month of the year, to me this month, March, is the first of the year!
March is also the month in which Passover occurs. It also is the time of Easter, the resurrection of our Savior. How appropriate that the first fruits of our salvation would be in spring! When Jesus rose from the dead, He gave us new life…spring brings new life from the dead ground, our hope is renewed in spring. Let this March be a new beginning for you. Spring is in air!
