24. "But in those days, following that distress, " 'the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light;
25. the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.'
26. "At that time men will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory.
27. And he will send his angels and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the heavens.
28. "Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near.
29. Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that it is near, right at the door.
30. I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.
31. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

Amen! These verses tell us that God's words will never pass away though all visible matters will disappear. 2 Corinthinans also mentions that His words were "not written on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts." Hence, we should not think of the living word (Bible) as a remote abstract concept. But we should remember that the eternal word has been written on our hearts... At the same time, today's verses remind us to stay awake spiritually, since the Son of Man will come back to this earth take us to our eternal home. I pray that I will be a faithful servant who will remain alert until His return.
"Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away."
Thus his word, his love for us will never pass away.
