Season After Pentecost Week 7

We are often reminded that things in this life don’t last in this broken world. This includes everything from material things and earthly goods to health and well-being as age increases, to relationships we treasure, and ultimately mortality, which leads to death. Yet just as things in this world are temporary, we are pointed frequently to what is everlasting with joy. Adopted as God’s own children, we are given an eternal inheritance through the work of Jesus Christ. Amid the temporary things of this broken and sinful world, we keep our focus on Christ and the eternal blessings assured “to the praise of His glorious grace” (Ephesians 1:6).
