Matthew 24:35 Jesus said, "Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away."
Eternity and constancy. I think that's what a lot of us are looking for. Maybe at it's heart that's what a lot of us seek in the urge to religion and thinking about God. We want to know that there's something more permanent than today's newspaper, something more lasting than human commitments and promises. We want to be part of something that will last longer than even our short span of years on this Earth.
Jesus said "My words will not pass away." Even the mountains and the stars shift and move. Science has taught us that the things that look permanent are moving and shifting and growing and dying. Even starts go through life-cycles and will one day die. But the words of Jesus are longer and truer and more constant than all of that. When God says "I love you," that's more permanent than anything you know. And there's comfort there.
In Christ,
Pastor Seth
