HE NEVER CHANGES

“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and forever.” -HEBREWS 13:8 [KJV]

I am so thankful that as I grow older and things change, inside and out, that there is One who never changes.

1. His love never changes with time, for He loved me with an everlasting love that knows no change.

2. His power never changes. He is just as able to keep me from falling today as when I first began.

3. His Word never changes: “God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: hath He said, and shall He not do it? or hath He spoken, and shall He not make it good?” [NUMBERS 23:19]. Has He not magnified His Word above His Name?

4. His election of me shall never change. He will never cast off those whom He has chosen, for they will never do anything that He did not know about and has not already taken care of.

5. The power of His blood shall never change. It still cleanses from all sin. No matter how deep the stain has gone, His blood washes it away.

6. His Sacrifice will never change, it will never lose its effectiveness because it is always fresh in the midst of the Throne of God: “And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain…” [REVELATION 5:6].

We have a living sacrifice standing in the midst of the Throne of God. When we rise out of our beds in the morning and go through our changes, just remember that there is One who remains the same yesterday, today and forever: The Rock Christ Jesus.
