Still The Same

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.  Hebrews 13:8

The empty tomb is more significant than we can possibly fathom.  It is the one thing that separates the Christian faith from any other religion.  Because Jesus defeated the grave and conquered death, He is always with us, today, tomorrow and forever more.  

We all celebrate our risen Savior on Easter, but what about the remainder of the year?  

I truly believe that the problem rests on us when we feel separated from God's presence, as His love for us is constant and is always with us.  His perfect Love is flowing from the cross into each of our hearts, so we must live in His presence despite the circumstances we face on a daily basis!

Praise His holy name!!!

Rock of Ages

Jesus Christ (the Messiah) is always the same, yesterday, today, yes and forever to the ages.  Hebrews 13:8

Think of how many friends and relationships you have had over the course of your lifetime.  Now, think about how much people (yourself included) have changed during the friendships/relationships.  It's human nature that we change; sometimes we change for the better sometimes it's for the worse. 

Now, think of the reasons why you love Jesus.  The obvious answers are that He loves us, or He gave His life for us on the cross to save us from certain peril, or He rose again on the third day.  But what about your daily relationship with Him?  When you look at how constant Jesus is with us, one of the qualities you will appreciate the most is that He never changes.

The reason we can love and trust Him is that He is never changing.  Jesus said "This is the way I was, and this is the way I'm always going to be."

There are not many constant things or people that you can count on any more, but you can always count on Jesus.  He can change anything that needs to be changed in your life, but he will always stay the same!
