30 Truly I say to you, this [a]generation will not pass away until all these things take place. 31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away. 32 But of that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. Mark 13:30-32
In my previous post, I noted that the Law is no longer binding since it has been fulfilled in Jesus.
By contrast, Jesus’ words are binding forever. There is no similar limitation put on his teachings. This stands to reason, of course, because he is the very Word of God himself.
So in verse 31 we find Jesus saying that His words would not pass away. This is true both of teachings we find speak about our hearts – that hate equals murder and that lust equals adultery – but also of those profound statements such as “I am the way, the truth and the life” and “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in me will never die.”
