Sing to the Lord a New Song

God has spoken through the prophets at many times and in various ways.  But the prophets of old perceived something new and exciting.  ‘Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old.  Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?’ (Isiah 43:18-19).

In Advent we rejoice in the fulfilment of God’s new plan – Jesus is radiant of God’s glory, the exact representation of his being, light from light, true God and true man.  We sing a new Psalm: ‘The old has passed away, behold, the new has come’ (2 Corinthians 5:17).  We are a new creation, we are God’s masterpiece, we can live a new life and our hearts sing a new song.
