It starts to all sound the same, doesn’t it? The great “new” ideas sure sound like the same old ideas you’ve heard before. The grand “new” solutions sound like exactly what’s been tried before without any success. How many times have you had the same arguments? How often have you heard the same empty promises? It’s déjà vu all over again. All the “new” stuff doesn’t seem so new. Did you know that was already true 3,000 years ago? King Solomon wrote: “What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun” (Ecclesiastes 1:9). There’s nothing new…
Except one thing. Our God came up with something that is genuinely new. Our God had an idea that had absolutely never been done before. Know what it was? God decided to die for you. To save you. To forgive you. Even though you don’t deserve it. All because he loves you so much. Isn’t that mind-blowing? Where else have you heard of a perfect God willing to die for sinful people? Where else have you ever seen unconditional love like Jesus’ love? When it comes to us people, there is nothing new under the sun. When it comes to our God, his mercies and grace are new every single morning.
