1 Peter 1:24, 25
For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
--KJV
In the name of the One Whose word endures forever. Amen.
God’s word gives us eternal life. Today we see that God’s word itself is eternal. Our world is temporary, and we have made most things to be disposable. The things that aren’t disposable are manufactured for “planned obsolescence.” Even our relationships are not sure things any more, and when someone gives us their word, it is meaningless unless we have it in writing.
But there is something that is permanent, and that is God’s word. It remains when everything else disappears. Why is this significant? It is significant because of the promises it makes. Our passage for today mentions the Gospel. The Gospel promises that God loves us in Christ Jesus, and that all of our offences against God are forgiven in Him. These promises remain forever. Amen.
Prayer:
Lord God our heavenly Father, Your word--Your promises stand forever. By Your Holy Spirit cause us to hold firmly to Your promises. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
