Inheritance: Legend or Legacy?


 
Legend: a traditional story sometimes popularly regarded as historical but unauthenticated.

Sir Galahad~In Arthurian legend the noblest knight of the Round Table, searched for the Holy Grail, son of Sir Lancelot.

Other examples of legends: Bigfoot, Robin Hood.

synonyms-fable, myth

Many movies, books and songs are written about these 'legends', and while they might make us feel good, and be sympathetic to their 'cause', there is no lasting substance to them.

Legacy: something from the past that is handed down or remains from a previous generation or time.

Jesus Christ: The One found worthy...and has redeemed us to God by His blood...(Rev.5:9), drank from the Holy Grail, the Son of God.

 
Other (human) examples of legacies: grandparents, teachers, parents, relatives

synonyms: inheritance, fact

Who are the people that have built legacies in our lives? Many movies and songs have been written about the one true 'legacy': Jesus Christ. 





Jesus Christ: Pass Him On
Proverbs 13:22
A good man leaves an inheritance
to his children's children:
 and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.
