“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” Hebrews 13:8
Finally, 2021 is here and with it comes hope it is better than 2020. Between masks, elections, toilet paper shortages, murder hornets, canceled events and restricted travel, I know we are all ready to get back to some semblance of normal.
Thinking about all this has made me remember a verse I had honestly not given much thought about in the past. “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.”
I tend to look at sameness as stifling, boring, and mundane. That was until this year. This year has been, well… different. I find myself longing for the days which were a little the same from week to week. There can be comfort, security, and predictability in knowing what is probably going to happen.
That is what is great about Christ. He is the same, but the same is anything but predictable. The sameness of Jesus is that we know He will always be with us no matter what we go through. Our lives have changed but He is the same. He has not been affected by this virus in the least. He is still Lord. He is still in control. He is still watching over us. He is still loving us. He is still drawing us to Himself. He is still saving. He is still growing us. He is still Jesus.
What an incredible thought! He is still…. This year we are going to dive deeper in finding out what that means and how He changes our lives because His is the same.
I am looking forward to this year and I am thankful Jesus is still with us.
Following Him,
Jeff
