The Eternal Flame

He always lives to make intercession for them. Heb7.25 ESV

Many towns throughout the United States have memorials honoring those who died in our various wars. The one here in Selma has a feature common to many memorials. It is often referred to as “the eternal flame.” An uninterrupted supply of natural gas makes the flame possible and it continually burns as if to say, “We will never forget you.”
Christ ever lives to make intercession for us. His prayers supply the flame of our faith, love and devotion to God. His intercessions are an uninterrupted flow of divine grace. The fires of our devotion are promised to be an eternal flame, sustained by the prayers of Jesus, and neither the trials nor cares of this world, no matter how severe, are able to extinguish them. Our faithfulness to Him streams from His faithfulness to us. We shall never forget Him because He never forgets us. We shall forever offer the sacrifices of praise, ours hearts burning with an eternal flame, kindled and kept by the perpetual prayers of Jesus. 4/6/2008 ts
