Lasting Legacy

How many Prime Ministers can you name from the last decade? There have been a few, some sticking around longer than others. As leadership changes, particularly if it is a planned change, one thinks about their legacy.

It's not just leaders - at different times we can be struck by how brief life is, and wonder what impact we have had or legacy we leave.

It is a good question to ask - yet as a Christian we have a greater hope than leaving a legacy. We ourselves endure.

Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people both now and forevermore.

Psalm 125:1-2

We are surrounded by one who is eternal.

We ourselves endure, eternally.

Now that is a hope which outstrips any legacy we can leave.
