Hebrews 13:8 (NIV)
8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and
forever.
The Bible says, “It is appointed unto men once to die,” and
to the average person this seems a stark and hopeless situation. Hundreds of
philosophies and scores of religions have been invented to circumvent the Word
of God. Modern philosophers and psychologists are still trying to make it
appear that there is some way out other than the path of Jesus. But people have
tried them all, and none of them leads anywhere but down. Christ came to give
us the answers to the three enduring problems of sin, sorrow, and death. It is
Jesus Christ, and He alone, who is also enduring and unchanging, “the same
yesterday, today, and forever.” All other things may change, but Christ remains
unchangeable.
In the restless sea of human passions Christ stands
steadfast and calm, ready to welcome all who will turn to Him and accept the
blessings of safety and peace. For we are living in an age of grace, in which
God promises that “whosoever will” may come and receive His Son. But this
period of grace will not go on indefinitely. We are even now living on borrowed
time.
Thought for today:
Do I understand and appreciate grace?
