We
look back to the past. We say, “That was then. That’s old.” We live in
the present. We say, “This is now. This is new.” We shouldn’t be too
quick to dismiss the past. Jesus Christ belongs to the past. He also
speaks to us in the present. He is preparing us for God’s eternal
future.
We read the Story of Jesus. We rejoice in His love. We
say, “The old, old story – It is ever new. The old, old story – Praise
the Lord! It’s true!” It’s true! That’s why it’s still God’s “new song.”
There
will always be people who refuse to trust in Jesus Christ as Saviour.
Will they silence us? Will we fail our Lord because we’re afraid of what
people will say about us? Let’s be like Paul. Let’s defy our critics.
Let’s keep on saying, “I am not ashamed of the Gospel, because it is the
power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes” (Romans 1:16).
