It's disappointing when those we expect to be trustworthy let us down, and many people have lost confidence in the institutions that once earned their respect. Politicians often appear to chase their own ambitions rather than serve the people who elected them. News outlets sometimes shape stories to fit an agenda instead of presenting facts honestly and impartially. Those in scientific fields occasionally seem swayed by funding or politics rather than the wellbeing of the public they claim to serve. And some religious figures spend more energy backing political causes than guiding people spiritually, leaving many wondering who, if anyone, still deserves their confidence. Given all this, it makes sense that people are wary about placing their trust in others. The Bible offers a similar caution, reminding readers not to rely on those in positions of power, since no person has the ability to provide lasting salvation. > *Do not put your trust in princes, in mortal man, who cannot save.* > > Psalm 146:3 ### Someone you can trust The Bible points to one figure who stands apart from human leaders and institutions… Jesus Christ. He was far more than simply a wise teacher from long ago. According to scripture, God gave him an everlasting role, declaring that his rule would never come to an end. > *He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father, and he will rule as king over the house of Jacob forever, and his Kingdom will have no end.* > > Luke 1:32, 33 Jesus now serves as King of a heavenly government, one that scripture describes believers as praying will come and whose will shall be carried out on earth, just as it already is in heaven. > *Let your Kingdom come.
