"And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchizedek there ariseth another priest," (Hebrews 7:15 KJV)
"Who has believed our message? To whom has the LORD revealed his powerful arm?" (Isaiah 53:1 NLT)
Again, I will say that we are certain the Bible is true and accurate, all that truly believe it is God's word! Not only do we have to believe it, but we are called to proclaim it, which I feel is something we need to practice more often. When there is an opportunity to share what we know, it is responsibility to do so, as it is something that we must not hide or keep to ourselves!
I can't help but think of that short movie, called, "The Music Box." It was put out in the 80's I believe, and it was something we would play on New Years night, whenever we were having a New Years gathering. The story is set upon the life of a man who has a very boring life; yet, on his way home one day, he finds a music box on the street. He opens it, and it begins to play music, and then angels show up and start singing and dancing, which causes him to start dancing also.
When he gets home, he goes into the bathroom to listen to the box again; but as soon he opens the box, it is so loud that he closes it right away. From then on, he just kept it to himself and kept it secret. Then one night, the angels showed up in his room, waking him up, and telling him, "You have to share it; you must not keep it to yourself."
He answers them, quietly trying to not wake his wife, "But she wouldn't understand." So, the angels began to start singing and dancing around the room. His wife woke, as well as his son; and they all danced and sang together.
The point is much like the parable of the Talents...
""Again, the Kingdom of Heaven can be illustrated by the story of a man going on a long trip. He called together his servants and untrusted his money to them while he was gone. He gave five bags of silver to one, two bags of silver to another, and one bag of silver to the last - dividing it in proportion to their abilities. He then left on his trip.
"The servant who received the five bags of silver began to invest the money and earned five more. The servant with two bags of silver also went to work and earned two more. But the servant who received the one bag of silver dug a hole in the ground and hid the master's money."" (Matthew 25:14-18 NLT)
