“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever” Hebrews 13:8 (ESV). His yesterday was when He walked this earth; His yesterday was before the foundation of the world. When all around us is shaking, Jesus remains our firm Foundation. When life around us is unstable, we flee to the stable Rock. Today He is the same in His power, His compassion, His holiness, and His abounding mercy and grace. He is still able to keep; His blood still atones. His wisdom is still sufficient, His power is not diminished. His passion for us is still persistent; His calling to us is still faithful. His example is irreplaceable; His purity is impeccable. He is still my advocate; He still intercedes for us. We can count on Him today. That’s what Hebrews 13:8 means. What a Savior!
