Permanence

And Jesus said to them, “Do you not see all these things? Assuredly, I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down.”  Matthew 24:2

The disciples received a lesson in permanence from their teacher as they tried to show off the great construction of the temple. Perhaps they thought He would be pleased by the efforts of their people, but instead they found out it would be utterly thrown down. Experience has shown me a few things that were not permanent. You will have similar lessons from life on this earth. History shows us that governments are not permanent. Age has a way of showing us that our bodies are not permanent. So what do we place our faith in that is permanent? In the Revelation we find one who is, who was, and who always shall be. That sounds like permanence. Throughout the Old Testament we find references to the everlasting God, and even some that speak of everlasting to everlasting. That sounds like permanence too.  Therefore we believe in God and His Son! And we rejoice in the offer of eternal life given to us by the Son of God too. See John 3:16 for that offer. 

Thank You, dear Lord, for the permanence of Your great love!
