Hebrews 13:8 - Another Glimpse at the Immutable Quality of God.

Hebrews 13:8 (NKJV) Jesus Christ is the same 
yesterday, today, and forever.  

INTRODUCTION

Though human leaders have much to offer, we 
must keep our eyes on Christ, our ultimate 
leader. Unlike any human leaders, he will never 
change. Christ has been and will be the same 
forever. In a changing world we can trust our 
unchanging Lord. [Life Application SB] 

COMMENTARY PEARL

Unchanging Savior
   Three facts constitute the true story of 
man: his past is filled with sin; his present is 
overflowing with sorrow; and the certainty of death 
faces him in the future. 
   The Bible says, "It is appointed unto men 
once to die" (Hebrews 9:27 KJV), and to the 
average person this seems a stark and hopeless 
situation. 
   But Christ came to give us the answers to 
the three enduring problems of sin, sorrow, and 
death. It is Jesus Christ, and He alone, who is 
also enduring and unchanging, "the same 
yesterday, today, and forever" (Hebrews 13:8). As the 
hymn writer Henry F. Lyte wrote: "Change and 
decay in all around I see; O Thou who changest 
not, abide with me." 
   All other things may change, but Christ 
remains unchangeable. In the restless sea of human 
passions, Christ stands steadfast and calm, ready to 
welcome all who will turn to Him and accept the 
blessings of safety and peace. For we are living in an 
age of grace, in which God promises that 
whosoever will may come and receive His Son. 
   Is the Lord your unchanging Rock in the 
storm? [Peace for Each Day by Billy Graham re Psalm 
102:27] 

CLOSING THOUGHT

Our Unchanging God
   That simple, straightforward statement 
holds great riches to be uncovered. 
   To begin with, consider the qualities of 
God that are especially meaningful to you during 
this season of your life. Perhaps you think of 
His presence with you, His faithfulness, or His 
goodness. Maybe you focus on His holiness, justice, 
and perfection. You may think of His redemptive 
power and His ability to bring beauty out of 
ashes. Or you are clinging to the fact that He is 
all-powerful, all-knowing, and sovereign over the 
unfolding history of this world as well as your own 
personal pilgrimage. Whatever divine characteristics 
come to mind, know that God has always been that 
way and will always remain that way. Find 
comfort and peace in that assurance. 
   Now consider some implications of God's 
unchanging nature. The way Jesus led His twelve 
disciples is the same way He will lead you  The 
love Jesus expressed on the cross is the same 
compassion He extends to you  The power that raised 
Jesus from the dead is the same power available to 
you today  The same discipline He used on 
others will be meted out to you if necessary  
Count on the certainty that Christ will not change 
and then live boldly in light of that wonderful 
truth. [Being Still With God Every Day by Henry 
Blackaby]
