Psalm 22 (NIV) especially vs 30-31.
30 Posterity will serve him;
future generations will be told about the Lord.
31 They will proclaim his righteousness
to a people yet unborn—
for he has done it.
It's challenging to ponder all the possible ways that one generation can proclaim the righteousness of God "to a people yet unborn". Not just to an individual child but "to a people yet unborn". . . The scriptures say it will happen, "for he has done it."
Is the righteousness of God that we proclaim tied to what He does? Does it imply our watching and recording?
When you're talking with children of this generation do you talk about the things that God does and about His righteousness? What is righteousness, anyway? How do you translate God's righteousness into non-theological language that children can relate to? How do you talk about it?
