Mark 13:31
Heaven and
earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
Words spoken 2,000
years ago, still they are as true and as relevant in our lives today. So it really is amazing that the words of
Jesus Christ continue to set the bar that no one can reach.
However, some of us would twist these words
to suit our lives, so we can continue to live in our lies. “An eye for an eye”, “divorce as promulgated
by Moses”, “animal sacrifices” – these are old thinking that was already
renewed through Christ.
“Love your enemy”.
“Love your wife; listen to your husband.”
“I am the way, the truth and the life”.
Jesus claim is so revolutionary that it was
considered insane by some rational person. Yet, somehow, I know deep in my
heart (as I am sure you also believe and know), that he spoke the plain truth.
And while I, as a sinner, might have
problem reconciling His words with what I really want to do in my life, I
cannot deny that He spoke with the authority and wisdom that can only come from
a loving, omniscient God.
May God give us the strength to follow the
words and actions of Jesus Christ and not be swayed by the tides of a changing
world.
Let us pray +
Lord Jesus Christ, may we forever live and
believe in your very Words. No one can
twist them, for they are Words of Life.
May we follow Your example forever, only believing in You and Your
mighty words and deeds.
Amen +
Therefore my heart is glad and my soul rejoices…
