Normally, we find new things a lot more exciting than old things. For example, it's always exciting to visit places we've never been to before. I often like jumping to learn a new piece of music on the piano, even though I may not enjoy playing it as much as the one I am still working on. And almost everyone looks forward to the beginning of a New Year. On the contrary, the more we know Christ, the more we find him to be exciting. I believe these are the reasons. (1) Christ being infinite, there are always new things we can learn from him. So he remains forever new, you could say. (2) Things of the world get tiresome because they provide only momentary pleasures, while God refreshes and uplifts us at the soul level. (3) God continually renews those who follow him, making them feel new.
