In our morning devotions with our kids today, the Lord brought us to a great passage, and then conversation, about the Word of God being up-to-date with today and our world.
Surely, we have all heard people say that the Bible is old, antiquated and has absolutley no relevancy in our modern society. The DaVinci Code helped to motivate that lie in our world...especially among those who have no real understanding of Scripture, and who have never really studied them. However, those who are in Christ know that those statements are false!
Here was our text for today...
Colossians 1:15-18 - And He is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of all creation. [16] For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities-- all things have been created by Him and for Him. [17] And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. [18] He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the first-born from the dead; so that He Himself might come to have first place in everything.
I have to say that it was great to be able to tell our children that God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit have always been, they are present now, and always will be in existence. The illustration that the devotional gave was that an old book on flowers is still applicable today because the flowers are still the same today as they were 100 years ago and even before then. The same is true of God's Word! Hebrews 13:8 tells us that, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today, yes and forever." Neither has He changed! The Word of God is God's revelation of Himself to man.
I take confidence in the fact that the Bible, the all-time best-seller, is still relevant to my life (and yours) today.
