Hebrews 13 - Yesterday, Today and Forever

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

What a way to summarize the final entry for Hebrews. Jesus, our high priest, is, was and always will be our savior. He is with us, in us, surrounding us and enabling us. He wants to show His love to us and through us to a dieing world. It is all about our relationship with Christ. Our faith in God enables Him to bless us. Our acceptance of Christ as our savior enables Him to intercede on our behalf before the Father. And that's the way it will always be until we are in Heaven with Him.

Matthew Henry writes, "And though their ministers were some dead, others dying, yet the great Head and High Priest of the church, the Bishop of their souls, ever lives, and is ever the same. Christ is the same in the Old Testament day. as in the gospel day, and will be so to his people for ever, equally merciful, powerful, and all-sufficient. Still he fills the hungry, encourages the trembling, and welcomes repenting sinners: still he rejects the proud and self-righteous, abhors mere profession, and teaches all whom he saves, to love righteousness, and to hate iniquity." So much insight for such a small passage, WOW!

Take Refuge -- the more you get to know Christ, the more you will find that He is always the same. Always faithful. Always loving. Always available. You just have to call on Him and He will be there for you.
