Jesus is our constant . . .

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

We as a nation have just been through an agonizing ordeal where it seems as if everything has been turned upside down. Some people are happy with the results, while others are devastated by the results. If you ask me, the whole drama is highly blown out of proportion. There will always be the range of people from those who love to those who hate. Ironically, this is not limited just to the political arena. Everything in life is that way. If you don’t believe me, why are there 31 flavors at one ice cream chain? Not everyone likes the same thing. We, as humans, also go through changes in ideas, likes and tastes as we live life. We mature and grow and what used to be our favorite of the 31 flavors is now something that we can no longer stand.

Do you want a constant in your life? Do you want to cling to something that is steadfast and never changes even when we are constantly changing?

When we go through constant change, often in search of something better or different, we need a constant. We need Jesus!

What is your continuity in life?

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

Do you like continuity in your life?

Is there anything that has been in your life for a long time that is the exact same as it was when it first became a part of your life?

If you are like me, well, actually, if you are like every other person who has ever lived, nothing ever stays the same. You make friends, lose friends, grow up, move on, get married, have children who then proceed to grow up and move on, get married and have children who then . . .

What is it about continuity that we, as human beings, like so much? Is it the reliability that we like? Is it the fact that we like a constant point of reference? Could it be that we like the assurance of knowing that something or someone will always be there no matter what the circumstances may be?

When I read that Jesus is the same yesterday and today and forever, I like the assurance that He is my rock. He is my foundation upon which I can build my life. It is this foundation that gives me the freedom to live life without fear and without uncertainty. I am grounded firmly in the promises that God has fulfilled through Jesus! I stand firm on my faith in Jesus as my personal Lord and Savior, and I embrace the destiny that is mine through the gift of God’s grace through Jesus!

Any day is a good day to accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior. Any day is a good day to walk with Jesus. Any day is a good day to repent and return to Jesus. In this new year, I pray that we all examine our lives and assess where we are in our relationship with Jesus. If we find that things are not as they should be, or as they were, keep in mind that it is we who have changed and not Jesus!
