Our Scripture reading today is Luke 21:32-33.
Verse 33, "Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away."
As time goes by, we all see things that deteriorate and pass away. The most expensive of items that we purchase will not last forever. A multi-million dollar mansion is no match for a flood or fire. No matter the earthly possession, it will not last forever.
We have made a special emphasis in 2023 of living by the Word of God. This morning, the Lord Jesus reminds us of why it is so important. God's Word will never pass away. This means God's Word will never lose its power. God's Word will never lose its ability to comfort and strengthen. God's Word will always be ready to build our faith.
God's Word will continiue to change lives!!
Those who know the Saviour will gladly testify
How God's Word brought conviction the hour they met Christ
It may have been a still small voice but they heard the Master's call
Learning in that moment when they surrendered all
Chorus:
God's Word changes lives
Its power cannot be denied
The lost find salvation, the foolish become wise
God's Word changes lives
The essence of its message, the truth has never changed
God so loved He gave his Son that sinners could be saved
And whether read or preached or sung, once it has been heard
The authority of Scripture will leave no heart unstirred.
