THE SAME FOREVER

HEBREWS 13:8

"Jesus Christ is THE SAME yesterday, today and FOREVER!"

The only thing constant is change. Can you think of anything here on earth that is not changing? How about our bodies? How about the city or town we were born in, has it changed? Even the heavenly bodies can be measurably changing, even though the pace is slow. What is the only thing that is constant? The answer is God! Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever!

Have you noticed that most people do not like change? Most of us do not want to move or take a new job and make new friends. Internally we desire stability. We want something we can rely on that is not in constant flux or motion. We feel safer when things are stable. The problem is that things are not stable. There is nothing that is not subject to change. That is why we can thank God that He gave us the Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ who never changes.

Jesus Christ was from the beginning, before time began as we know it. He then came to earth and lived among us and then ascended into heaven. There is amble proof of His existence and only a fool says in His heart, "there is no God, no Jesus Christ". He died for us and has gone to prepare a mansion for each of His believer's. He now sits at the right hand of God and will be there eternally. So in fact, He had no beginning and He has no end. He is eternal and not subject to change. What He did and what He said are not subject to change. You can rely on Jesus Christ, He is THE SAME FOREVER!
