"Jesus Christ the same yesterday,
and today, and for ever."
Hebrews 13:8
Jesus Is Timely and Timeless
Jesus is
unchangeable!
He lives and
reigns today without any change in personality since the
days when He personally reached out in
compassion to sinners,
offering new
life to the crushed and defeated.
He remains
the saving Lord.
Glory be to
His matchless name!
However, a
distorted application can be made of His
unchangeable nature.
Some may
picture Jesus in long robes and a beard
and cannot
imagine the changeless Christ
understanding computers or modern society,
and so
dismiss Him from life today.
And some,
knowing that Jesus never changes,
hold on to
the belief of their childhood learning years
that the
introduction to Him was complete
and consider
any further religion unnecessary.
It is a sad
mistake to believe that Jesus is timeless
but to
forget that He is also timely.
The words of
Christ gave startling light to the world
in which He
lived,
and they
hold penetrating truth also today.
The life and
cross of Jesus,
which
offered amazing pardon to the first
Christians,
do the same
today.
Christ is
not behind us, but always before us.
The closer
we follow, the more will we marvel at
His infinite
truth and grace,
which apply
to any generation.
Christ never
changes!
He is always
timely and timeless.
