For, "All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord stands forever." And this is the word that was preached to you.
At first reading, Peter sounds like he's giving us a reminder of our own mortality. But think further.
Yes, grass and flowers wither - and they must be. Without withering, renewal cannot take place. The glory of renewal would never be known.
God's word is his promise - accept him, and you, too, will see the ultimate renewal in the proper time. And that's a great word.
