Remember -- the New Testament is a continuation of the Old. The Gospels aren't a new story -- God is always doing a new thing, but it's also an old thing, for God's story is a consistent story about reconciling the people back to God. God is pure love and pure relationship, and everything God does is emanating from that love. God speaks in the same, steady voice throughout the ages, although sometimes we hear it better from different sources.
May we listen with new ears, but may we also have the humility to go back to the old sources and read once more what it says there, that we may remember the consistency of God and give thanks for steady grace in changing times.
