FOREVER

Matthew 24:35

Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.

Encouraging Words

Jesus is eternal. He has been since before the beginning of time and He will be forever. The Jesus that became incarnate was, is, and will always be that same Jesus that was begotten by the Father. There is no way that I, a finite human being, will ever be able to comprehend what this means or how it works, but that is okay. In Orthodoxy, we believe that there are many mysteries of God that only He has the answer to, and that is okay. What is most important here is that Jesus, who is the Living Word, will never pass away, no matter what happens to me or the heavens and earth that I live in. Jesus was there when all that we know as our physical heavens and earth were created. He was there when Adam and Eve were created because it was His image that they took on. He was there when Noah was told to build the ark; when Moses talked to the burning bush and received the ten commandments, and this list goes on and on. Jesus is here with us now and promises to be here always. What more do I need to press through each day? Nothing more than faith in Him. Glory be to God!
