Unlimited SaviorBeispiel

We need God. Everything you and I see is transient. Everything we feel, taste, touch – everything is temporary.

There is One who overcame the world, and who said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me… lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age." (Matthew 28:18-20 RSV) 

When our Lord Jesus rose from the dead, he breathed upon his disciples and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit" (John 20:22). By so doing, he was saying, "Because of the cross you need never walk alone. Because of the cross, the omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient God has come to live beside you – and inside you – now and forever." You see, the coming of the Spirit is the coming of God. Jesus said, "I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you" (John 14:18 KJV).

It’s true that everything passes away, but not the person who has made Jesus his Savior. On his last earthly night with his disciples, Jesus said to them, 

Because I live, you will live also (John 14:19). If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him (John 14:23, NKJV).

Go for a walk and look around you. Everything you see is temporary. It’s going to disappear. Only God, and those in him, last forever. Now as you walk, ask God to help you see from this perspective, and to value the things of eternity.
