Read through the Bible in 2 years: Psalm 127; Hebrews 7
“And the former priests, on the one hand,
Hebrews 7:23-25 LSB
existed in greater numbers because they were prevented
by death from continuing, but Jesus, on the other hand, because He continues forever,
holds His priesthood permanently.
Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.”
When my husband and I were married 30 years ago, we had the words “Forever and Always” engraved inside our wedding rings. For our first dance at our wedding reception, we chose the song “I swear” by John Michael Montgomery because of the beautiful words of its chorus,
For better or worse
“I Swear” – John Michael Montgomery
Till death do us part
I’ll love you with every beat of my heart
I swear
We didn’t see marriage as just a fleeting thing. We wanted our marriage to stand the test of time, and we still do. Yet, we are mortal beings. Our lives on earth are temporary. Someday our hearts will stop beating, and our time on earth will end. Even the very best marriage can never be “forever and always” – because death will someday part us.
But, Jesus. Jesus is always and forever. He is eternal. Jesus has existed from eternity past, and He will exist for eternity future. He is without beginning or end.
He continues as the Great High Priest forever, interceding for us temporal beings. Yet, this all-sufficient, all-powerful, eternal, awesome God invites lowly people like you and me to be His bride for all eternity. How GREAT is our GOD!
Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out, “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and exult and give him the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready; it was granted her to clothe herself with fine linen, bright and pure”– for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints. And the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.”
Revelation 19:6-9 ESV
Heavenly Father, You are eternal. You are forever and always, the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end. From everlasting to everlasting, You are God. You are the faithful, unchanging Rock on whom we can found our lives. Teach us to number our days, that we may have a heart of wisdom. Help us to fix our eyes on heaven, on the eternal, that we may have strength in this day to withstand the trials and temptations that we encounter in this world. In the Name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
