Is History Repeating Itself?

Make HISTORY by telling, teaching, and living HIS STORY!

It's recorded in Old Testament history how the Jews (God's chosen people) were set free when Moses (God's elected leader) led the people out of bondage, across The Red Sea, and into The Promised Land.  The people were told to keep telling that story to their children...and for all generations to come.

The Jews stopped with Volume I, but there's a 2nd volume (Volume II)  called The New Testament.  It tells the STORY of Jesus; and, in like manner, we're told to remember HIS STORY--to tell His story, and to pass it on to our children and to all future generations.

A long time has passed since God's people crossed The Red Sea; and, it was a long, tough road  Jesus had to climb to Calvary's Hill.  Yet, God's people continued to tell HIS STORY.

Before Jesus left this earth, He instructed His disciples to "Go and make disciples of all the nations...teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you...and [know] I will be with you always."  [Paraphrased from Matthew 28:19-20]

HIS STORY even reached the shores of America.  America had a humble beginning, but it was built on a firm foundation by the faith of our forefathers.  And we grew and grew...and we became a great nation!  But, in recent years, our progress has been hindered.  What has hindered us?  What's causing our nation to start to decay and crumble?  Have we forgotten to tell HIS STORY?  Have we stopped living the life Jesus so clearly taught us to live?

Let's not just read old history books...let us make history by continuing to tell HIS STORY!

"To whom much is given much will be required!"  [Luke 12:48]
