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

I own a cell phone that is frequently updated.  Every time an update occurs, I must learn new stuff.  This usually includes finding a new way to operate existing apps.  I was content with the previous way they operated.  Constantly changing the cell phone, which I use for so many things every day, is annoying.  I’m very glad that my Lord and Savior doesn’t change.

The Apostle John tells us in the first chapter of his gospel that Jesus is the Word of God, and that through him all of creation was spoken into existence. Jesus has been unchanging from the very beginning. 

 John also tells us that the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.  While Jesus was here in the flesh, he taught us how to live godly lives.  Those teachings are as relevant two thousand years later, as they were when he spoke them.  They have not changed. 

The truth of Jesus’ death and resurrection, and the salvation that he paid so dearly for, are the eternal good news that will never change.  The fact that Jesus never changes is a great comfort for those of us who love him.
