From Background Notes [BN] for May 18th & 19th
written by Pastor Bob Brown:
The Christian writer
refuses to stop with “long ago” since he carries with him fresh words about God’s
new speech, His new utterance that is creative and glorious and powerful and
forgiving. He utters the Word about God’s Son who, in a much deeper sense, is
the Word of God for us.
Now this
Son does not negate the “long ago” words, but, as with every successful
utterance, remains in dialog with those words, as the writer will go on to
explain in the rest of his book. What he makes clear from the outset is that
the long silent, long dormant Word of God has suddenly found its voice once
more, and that in God’s Son the Voice has the ability to initiate a
conversation with us that re-enacts “God’s very being.” That is the voice to
die for! [BN, 2]
