The Eternal Anchor: Embracing the Unchanging Nature of Jesus In a world marked by constant change and uncertainty, the unchanging nature of Jesus Christ offers a profound source of hope and stability. The assertion that Jesus is "the same yesterday, today, and forever" serves as a reminder of His consistent character and the steadfastness of His promises. This eternal consistency means that His love, mercy, justice, and grace remain unwavering, providing us with a reliable foundation upon which to build our lives. The faithfulness of Jesus in His promises is a beacon of hope, ensuring us that the gifts of salvation, forgiveness, and eternal life are enduring commitments from Him to us. Such assurances allow us to face life's challenges with an anchored heart, knowing that our ultimate hope transcends the immediate circumstances we may encounter. Moreover, the teachings and example of Jesus remain an unchanging guide for navigating life's complexities. His principles of love, compassion, and justice are as relevant today as they were centuries ago, offering us a blueprint for ethical living and interpersonal relationships. In moments of suffering or doubt, the knowledge that Jesus remains constant provides unparalleled comfort and reassurance. His presence is a source of strength and solace, reminding us that we are never alone in our trials. Ultimately, recognizing Jesus as eternal and unchangeable shifts our perspective from the temporal to the eternal, encouraging us to prioritize what is truly lasting over the transient. This eternal perspective not only informs how we live our daily lives but also inspires us to seek a deeper connection with the divine, fostering a sense of peace and purpose that transcends worldly concerns. In embracing the unchanging nature of Jesus, we find not only a source of hope and comfort but also a call to live lives marked by enduring faith, love, and compassion. It is in this unshakeable foundation that we discover the strength to face the challenges of today and the confidence to step into the future. Pastor Steven G. Lee (March 25, 2024)
