Living in Light of the End

What must we always remember? Proverbs 24:13–22 looks forward to the midweek sermon. In these ten verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that we must always remember our latter end. This passage calls believers to live with eternal perspective, embracing God's good gifts—like honey and wisdom—in joyful stewardship, knowing that true fulfillment is found in Christ and leads to an unshakable hope. It warns against vengeful, fretting, or envious attitudes toward the wicked, reminding that God's justice will ultimately expose their fleeting prosperity and extinguish their lamp, while the righteous, though they may fall, will rise again through faith in Christ. The call to fear both God and Christ, the true King, underscores the importance of aligning one's life with unchanging divine authority rather than fleeting human alliances.
