One thing remains

“Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.” - Matthew 24v35

“Nothing lasts forever,’ the old saying goes and in general that is true – nothing on earth will lasts forever. In fact, heaven and earth as we know them are all going to pass away one day. One thing however is not going to pass away – the word of God.

Everything that we tend to focus on is one day going to be gone. All of our possessions and resources are going to be wiped out. All the stuff that we call vital and important is going to gone. Only one thing is going to remain.

This lets us know that most of us really have our priorities mixed up. We spend most of our time and resources gathering stuff that is going to pass away one day. Would we not be much better off spending our time and resources on the one thing that is not going to pass away?
