We often tell stories to things we were witnesses to. Those stories sometimes begin with something like, "back in my day... A long time ago... When I was your age..." Hebrews tells us that a long time ago God used prophets to speak to His people, but now He speaks to us through His Son, Jesus Christ. And those witnesses to Christ and His work wrote them down, as carried by the Holy Spirit. These words that we have today. The words of Christ, who back in His day, died for all of us, and rose for all of us, because of His great love for us.
