(1 Chronicles 26) A sense of continuity

And all that Samuel the seer, Saul the son of Kish, Abner the son of Ner, and Joab the son of Zeruiah had dedicated, every dedicated  thing,  was under the hand of Shelomith and his brethren.

A sense of history, a sense of continuity, one with the past, following in the footsteps of the saints of old: Shouldn’t this be the perspective of the church in every age?
