1Pe 1:24 For, All flesh is as grass, And all the glory thereof as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower falleth:
1Pe 1:25 But the word of the Lord abideth for ever. And this is the word of good tidings which was preached unto you.
All flesh is as grass.
All glory of the grass the flower.
Grass withers.
Flowers fall.
We know this for a fact don't we? We've all seen grass die. We've all seen flowers wither and fall. We know that we are no better than the grass or flowers in that we too have a life that begins and ends. We wither, we fall. If it is our lot to live unto old age it isn't a very pretty thing at all. The withering is very obvious.
All flesh withers and falls without exception.
ONLY the word of the LORD abides for ever.
The Word of good tidings. We know what that word is, we know it is the TRUTH of salvation. The truth that we pass our earthly residence as something being TEMPORARY. Yes, we have a life here, but the life here is a prelude for those who would be God's people.
A prelude. A beginning. We all begin here upon our earthly residence, this journey we call our life. It's a beginning and we choose whether or not we want to be born again into a new life. Once we make that choice we are one step closer to our heavenly residence. I'm not talking about life after death, life after death is NOT Biblical. I'm talking about the Gospel preached by our Savior, the heavenly kingdom to come. He's told us that He will come again for us. He's told us that He is preparing a place for us so we can be with Him. We are told that when He returns all that are dead in HIM will live again and rise to meet Him in the air, this is what our Bible says. This is the thought we must have all the time, daily, not just on special occasions. We need to think on these things, we need to daily call upon our Heavenly Father, we must daily seek forgiveness, repenting of our succumbing to our flesh natures, knowing that one day through Him we will be with Him in His heavenly kingdom.
Whether we live 1 year, 10 years, 20 years, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, or 100 years we are living in a prelude to eternity if we are Christ's because HE abides forever, the WORD abides forever.
All in Christ, please, Lord, let us be in YOU always. Help us through this prelude to eternity. We have a beginning here and with You we will have no end...no end.
All by YOUR LOVE, YOUR GRACE!
