Hastings' Dictionary of the New Testament [2]
PAST. —‘Let the dead past bury its dead,’ is the unequivocal counsel we derive from the Lord’s reply to a lukewarm disciple ( Matthew 8:22). In Christ no past is irretrievable; Divine forgiveness may blot out what men consider it impossible to forgive ( Luke 18:27). Habit and custom may be burst asunder in a moment, like the rocky tomb that could not imprison the risen Lord. The motto of the Cliffords ( Désormais ) may recall a Christian truth of priceless value: ‘Henceforward’ sin no more ( John 8:11). God gives a fresh start for Christ’s sake to each one who prays for forgiveness in the spirit of forgiveness ( Matthew 6:14). The tyranny of the past led the Galilaeans to ask, ‘Is not this the carpenter?’ ( Mark 6:3); but, as signally in the call of Levi, the disciple of Christ must be ready to throw aside the past altogether for His sake ( Matthew 9:9).—There is a dead past to be forgotten and forgiven, for God is God of the living ( Mark 12:27). And there is a living past to be remembered and commemorated. Thus all generations call her blessed who was the mother of the Lord ( Luke 1:48). The loving gift of a forgiven woman who had been a sinner is still told for a memorial of her ( Mark 14:9). Yet the Christian hope looks ever forward to the brightness of the coming day, when the shadows shall flee away.
