Matt 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

We gain things in life, we lose things in life: jobs, people, positions & titles (within and without the church), houses, cars, health, liberties, freedoms, the respect of others, a good name, children, husband, wife, girlfriend, pet… we gain things and we lose things. The word of God is something that can never leave us. It will sustain us. It is always there as the greatest gift we can give to others – for it is through the word they will hear salvation(Rom 10:14). If we have nothing but the clothes on our backs, we can still give the word of God.

• What do we have that John had?
