The Story of My Life

The renowned British historian Edmund Burke once wrote, "Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it." Yet, we live in an era of declining interest in the past, where even many of the shows on the history channel aren't actually about history! People seem less and less interested in what happened in the past, imagining that it is irrelevant to their present or to their future. But what if the stories the Bible tells about the distant past are meant to affect our immediate present and lead us into a beautiful future? What if actually knowing this history makes us glad to repeat it? What can we gain from knowing the story of the Exodus?
