A Reflection On Security

When I need to remember the reliability of God’s Word

Jesus points us to the priority of His Word. It is what will keep us from deception, and it is what we can cling to when heaven and earth seem uncertain and the end of the age seems near. There is nothing transitory about Jesus’ words. If we fasten ourselves to what He says, we are bound to Jesus Himself. And if we are bound to Him, we have nothing to worry about when the heavens and the earth seem unstable.

There is a deep sense of security that comes from knowing that the words of Jesus are a permanent reality. They are not confined to the world as we know it; even if time itself were to come to an end, His words would not. They do not fail us.

If you invest your whole self in Jesus’ teaching, letting it saturate your mind and sink to the depths of your heart, you will have a profound knowledge of your security in an uncertain age. Do you want that? It’s His open invitation.

Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear.

Mark 13:31
