Jesus the same

"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." -Heb 13:8
 
As I was on my way to work this morning in a cab (ok...I had headache this morning), I looked out of the window. I looked at the trees, the roads, the buildings, the ppl etc. How things change over the years! I reflected and looked back at my life, how my life been transformed to what I am now. Time changes things, and not all of the changes are happy.
 
Ordinary people may change for better or worse. They may develop a different identity and personality than they once had. Relationships may change them. Success, wealth and power may change them. Illness, trouble, and loss may change them. You may know people who changed so much over time that they're not the persons you once knew. Friends and co-workers who were once very close may change personalities and grow apart. Many of us change as our experience, education and knowledge changes. As we learn things we never knew before, we gain many new beliefs, and we may also give up some beliefs we once held. There's nothing you can count on to stay the same.
 
Amid so many changes, there is one unchanging reality you can always count on. "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever" (Heb 13:8). Changing times don't change the Lord. All other things, even the very earth and sky, are changing. The Lord is an anchor for our souls (Heb 6:19), we can always count on Jesus' unchanging love, His unchanging purity, His unchanging faithfulness, and His unchanging truth.
 
With all the uncertainties and changes, Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. Amen
