Jesus said over 2,000 years ago, “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.” (Matthew 24:35) What do these words mean to you? How important are the words of Lord Jesus to the whole world? There are many Christians I have met all over the world, who when I have been speaking about certain commands Lord Jesus said we must do, their eyes have gone a little glazed over and sometimes they have looked away.
When I have asked them about this, they have said that they have “never read the Holy Bible” or they don’t really know His words. If you are a “Christian” and do not know the words of our Lord Jesus, what is this saying to you about your relationship with Jesus? How can you follow someone and not know what they even say, said or stand for in this world?
Jesus said “You are in error because you do not know the scriptures or the power of God! (Matthew 22:29) Who was He speaking to? When He spoke about the “scriptures” He was referring to the “Old Testament”. If He is saying people are “in error” for not knowing the scriptures or the “power of God”, what would He say to people who have come in His name and do not know His words and He is the Son of God?
It is so important to start learning every word Lord Jesus spoke while He was walking on this earth. How do I know this? He said so! He said if we love Him, “we will obey His commands”. (John 14:15) If you do not know His “commands” How can you obey them? (Kelly Newton-Wordsworth)
