most of the times we tend to forget the things that had happened for the past especially if these thing brought us pain, fear, and more pain. yet sometimes it is good to remember the past. not because we want to experience the pain again but because we want to remind ourselves again and again how God providently worked in every situation.
Last week we had this question and answer with one of the expert when it comes to church history. i was inspired by him because i can see that h really enjoyed answering the question. i mean not juts enjoyed but that he really loves telling about the history of the church. i admire his passion in learning and teaching those kind of stuffs.
seeing the joy in him as he talk to us about the things that he knows about history, i realized trat sometimes, flashbakcs are a good thing too. it give us the truth that all things really work together in the hands of our Lord. i have learned so much in this class that it made me praise God for the pain and hardships that they've been through. because without them getting killed, persecuted, crsuhed, we will never have the chance to experience the joy of knowing Christ. in the same way knowing how God worked in their lives, gives me more confidence of what God is doing to me right now. today, it might be hard, painful, and truly challenging, yet i am confident that in the end I will experience eternal comfort and joy in Christ's kingdom.
and so, it is very important to know the history of the church not because we are required to know about it but because it is one way to gain more confidence in God. To testify throughout the world, that indeed, God will never let us walk alone.
