Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.”
This verse reveals the divine eternity of Christ’s word. Heaven and earth, which in people’s eyes are the most stable realities, will pass away in their present form, but Christ’s words will remain unbroken. This is not only comfort, but also a great warning. His promises and the words of judgment are sure. The believer can place his hope not in the stability of the visible world, but in the Lord’s imperishable word. When everything is shaken, Christ’s word remains as an unshakable foundation.
