Change & the Unchanging
‘Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.’
Hebrews 13:8
We readily acknowledge the reality of change. What, in this life, isn’t affected by it? Change surrounds us like the air we breathe. This has always been the case, but the pace of change has rapidly increased in the past century.
What will change in your life? Beyond the daily changes of gas prices and interest rates, you will likely face significant change. Some good. Some bad. At times you may feel like Solomon and cry out, ‘vanity of vanities!’ In any event, no matter what comes your way, you can stand sure knowing that the most important thing is eternally constant – Jesus Christ! It doesn’t matter that everything else changes when your Lord is the changeless Sovereign.
The author of Hebrews encouraged 1st century Jewish believers with the message that Jesus brought an end to change. He perpetually holds the office of High Priest. His blood was the blood of the eternal covenant. He secured eternal rest. He established an unshakeable kingdom. He communicated and exemplified the eternal, unchanging truth. This spiritual foundation informs the rest of life.
Whether you are talking about ministry or marriage, faith or finances, Heaven or health, you can face each day of change while standing on the changeless foundation of Jesus Christ.
