Timeless KingdomНамуна

For many of us, there will come a day when the newest fashion trends seem weird, the latest technology seems more like a hassle than an improvement over what came before, and the music on the radio appears no longer appealing in the slightest. Some will attribute it to age, while others will attribute it to wisdom and maturity. Whatever the reason, tastes seem to change from one generation to the next. All this change can be disorienting, but some things don’t change with the passing years. The values of God’s kingdom never budge.

This is why, early in Israel’s history, God could command His people to teach His laws and statutes to their children. He even had Moses write down that instruction so that those children would read it and do the same with the next generation, and so on. It’s an unbroken line passing on God’s goodness from fathers and mothers to their children down through the centuries. The kingdom of God is a community that welcomes all because its values are everlasting. They don’t change with the seasons.

As the old hymn says, “On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand.” Jesus and His kingdom are the same yesterday, today, and forever!
