And then there is Someone who will never change...

In my Bible, the heading for Hebrews 13 says The Changeless Christ. As a matter of fact, in verse 8 it says this:

"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever."

What a comfort to know that my Savior does not change! In a world that almost worships change and considers all change to be good-better-best, I am so glad that Christ does not need to change. He is the same yesterday and today and forever, and that's really O.K. What would He even need to change? He's perfect. He paid it all. He's at the right hand of God. He's all we'll ever need, just as He is right now. Praise God for that!

Now "us" on the other hand, not so much. We need to change. Not to try and win favor, or to clean ourselves up to be acceptable. For those of you who are followers of Christ, we need to change because we are continuously in the process of sanctification until we see our Savior face-to-face. He loves us so much that He doesn't want us to stay the same.

What is Jesus asking you to change today? What is Jesus asking ME to change today?

Hebrews 13. It's good reading.
