“One generation commends your works to another” is the way the faith
has been passed down through the ages so that the ancient story of mighty acts
and awesome works is not lost. More than myth the ancient story is retold in
the living language of the generation entrusted to bear it into the infinite
future. Granted, the “passing on” generation always hopes that their way of
telling the story will be as enduring as the story itself and that the
generation “receiving” the gift will not throw away the wrapping. But the truth
is “the Lord gracious and compassionate, slow to anger
and rich in love” is the same for every generation, whether it's recounted on a Kindle or a scroll.
