Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, and today, and forever.” Heb. 13:8.
The Creator. Unchangeable. “Thou art the same.”
The Creation. Changeable.
“They shall be changed.”
His creation shall perish, but He remains. His creation shall change, but He is the same. The years that have passed have changed us all and also our friends, our homes, and our surroundings, but they have not changed our unchanging Saviour and Friend. He is “The same yesterday, and today, and forever.”
What a comfort, then, to go on through life with the knowledge that, come what may, He remains and His years shall not fail.
“Today, as yesterday, the same,
From everlasting is Thy Name;
The Lord, who earth’s foundations laid,
God’s Lamb, who full atonement made.
Yes! ‘Thou remainest’ whom have I
In heaven or earth, in sea or sky,
But Thee with all Thy love revealed,
My Lord, Beloved Friend and Shield.”
“BLESSED IS THAT MAN THAT MAKETH THE LORD HIS TRUST.” Psa. 40:4.
