“Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.”- Matthew 24:35
If anyone has BibleGateway.com as their homepage, they'll see that this verse is their daily Bible verse. This verse kind of jumped out at me because in the past, I've had struggled in the past with apathy in my Christian walk. This made me think of that, because it's not as if I didn't care about God and all that He's done for me, it's almost like I forgot that He existed because I was so wrapped up in my own life. But this verse tells me that everything will pass away except for His words. That means that I better be paying attention, right?
This verse also brings up one of many reasons that we should all be reading our Bibles regularly in our lives. It is so important that we know Christ through His words and deeds, otherwise it's easy to let Satan twist the truth. Jesus is Everything about God is eternal. It's so easy for us in our finite lives to become self-centered, but we need to be God-centered because He doesn't change. He won't bend to our will because He is our Creator.
Our hope comes from the words that Jesus spoke. That we will have everlasting life with a God that loved us enough to sacrifice His Son for our sin when we did absolutely nothing to deserve it. Awful things may happen to us in our lives, but they won't last!
I just felt like sharing these thoughts with you and figuring out how to use this lovely blog thing. You'll be hearing more from me on Wednesday or Thursday, so stay tuned!
Stay cool,
