CHRIST, THE GREAT CONSTANT

CHRIST, THE GREAT CONSTANT
“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.”- Heb. 13:8
Of this verse, J. C.Philpot wrote, “The eye of our faith must be ever fixed on Jesus, for the Person of Christ is the grand object of faith, and to lose sight of him is to lose sight of the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Is he not the same Jesus now that he was on earth? He is exalted, it is true, to an inconceivable height of glory, so that when John saw him, even as if in some measure veiled, he fell at his feet as dead. But he is the same Jesus now as when he was the man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; and as he wears the same human body, so he has the same tender, compassionate heart. All that he was upon earth as Jesus, he is in heaven still. All that tenderness and gentleness, all that pity to poor sensitive sinners, all that compassion on the ignorant and on those who are out of the way, all that grace and truth which came by him and were manifest in him, all that bleeding, dying love, all that sympathy with the afflicted and tempted, all that power to heal by a word all manner of sickness and disease, all that surpassing beauty and blessedness whereby he is to those who have seen him the chief among ten thousand and the altogether lovely One, he not only retains in the highest heavens, but is, so to speak, endowed with greater capacity to use them, for all power is given to him in heaven and earth, and all things are put under his feet, and that not only for his own sake, but that he might be the Head over all things to the Church.”
In this ever changing corrupt world we live in, it is a great comfort to know that Christ is the great constant that we can depend on for every need. Let us never be so foolish as to suppose that we have a problem greater than His power. He was, is, and always shall be exactly what every person needs most. Whatever your need, He knows, He cares, and He can help!- HDS
