(NASB) Hebrews 13:8 “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”

Present ~ today
This moment, Jesus, God my Savior, is the same as He was when He was present at creation of the heavens and the earth.

(NASB) Colossians 1:16-17 “For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities – all things have been created though Him and for Him.
17 He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.”

This Jesus is the same today as when He lived and walked on this earth – the very same.

This Jesus is the same today as when He rose from the grave after suffering in my place for my sins.  He was physically resurrected, never to die again – He is the firstborn of all.

Jesus is the same today as prophecy foretold Him – Messiah, the Anointed One of God.

Daniel foretold Messiah (Daniel 9:25-26), Andrew recognized Jesus as the Messiah, the Anointed One of God (John 1:41), and Jesus declared Himself Messiah to the woman at the well (John 4:25).

Peter later acknowledged Jesus when he said, “You are the Christ (Messiah), the Son of the living God.”  (NASB Matthew 16:16)

Whatever is going on in my life – Jesus is the same today as when I received Him as my Redeemer, my Savior.
Hurts, wounds, suffering – Jesus is the One I am to trust in, rely on, and have faith in – Jesus ~ only Jesus!

People are not to be ‘god’ to me, and my job is not to be my ‘god’… only Jesus can help.  He has given me His Holy Spirit.  He lives in me.  How?  God knows!

Jesus is the same today – for me!  No matter my emotions, or circumstances, or my physical needs – my Jesus is dependable because He is the same today as He was yesterday.  And He will be this same Jesus for all eternity!

~ Take it to heart ~

With Peter I say, “You are the Christ (Messiah), the Son of the living God.”
(NASB) Matthew 16:16

My Jesus – the Jesus of the Holy Bible – He is the same today as He was yesterday and I can trust Him for my tomorrows!
