If you are a purest, its hard to find anything today that is built to last the test of time. Somewhere over the last hundred years, a younger generation has chosen cheaper prices over reliability. Subsequently, most of the items for sale are temporary, often breaking much sooner than promised or before their warranty is up.
I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture, John 10:9.
In 1970, Coca-Cola began an advertising campaign claiming that their soft drink Coke was the real thing. Essentially, executives were trying to convince consumers that Pepsi Cola and RC Cola were artificial, unlike their product. Today, other manufacturers are making similar boasts. Unfortunately, unless you are willing to pay a premium price, rarely will you find something made to last.
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full, John 10:10.
Remedy Drive sings about this topic in their 2012 song Something Made to Last. One of the issues they address are things in life that promise satisfaction, but end in disappointment. Since every life has the same finale, death, its vital to find something that is eternal. This is where Jesus enters the picture, promising an abundant life to those who chose to believe. Therefore, don’t allow yourself to settle for a life void of meaning. Rather, step out in faith by taking the hand of Jesus, who has left you the Holy Spirit which gives you something made to last.
