April 24
The Word of God is powerful. Jesus is the living Word of God. Jesus is the most powerful entity that has ever existed or ever will be. When all has been destroyed by earthquake and fire, when the earth has been shaken and mankind has been brought to his final accounting, Jesus, the living Word, will yet stand.
In Matthew 24:35 Jesus says, “Heaven and earth shall pass away but My Word shall not pass away.” The prophet Jeremiah in his book (Jeremiah 23:19) says, “Is not My Word like fire and like a sledgehammer that pulverizes rock?” When one has heard the Word, it will burn within him.
This eternal, unshakable fire that can never be quenched, never be successfully refuted, never be ultimately denied, will burn within the bosom of the man who will allow it to do the cleansing work of the refiner’s fire. All dross will be melted away. The pure gold of salvation will remain with the Holy Spirit in a man’s heart.
Any hard rock of resistance within will be further crushed and ground to fine power and scattered impotent to the wind. The breath of God will blow upon it and it will be carried on the wind of faith until it is as far from the redeemed as the east is from the west. And the pure gold of Christ the living Word will remain.
