Last Sunday's Thought

We introduced the New Testament for Everyone, translated by Tom Wright and concentrated on Matt. 13:52 ('every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings out of his storeroom some new things and some old things'). Some people are anxious for change; others are nervous at the thought of change. The gospel reassures us that while bringing in some new things we should also retain the best of the old which has worked well.
