Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever!

Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.


Psa 90:2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.


Isa 44:6 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.


Joh 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am


Read these words again- John 8:58 Jesus said unto them- verily, verily I say unto you…BEFORE ABRAHAM WAS, I AM


And this….

Joh 8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.


Jesus witnessed Abraham rejoicing in the knowledge that a Messiah (that HE) would one day come and offer salvation to all.


To witness Abraham rejoicing, Jesus according to the Jews about Him, would have had to have been alive when Abraham was and that was IMPOSSIBLE to their thinking because they did not acknowledge the divinity that Jesus possessed. They did not understand that He was born of the Spirit, that He was God having taken on flesh as they possessed. The Jews were waiting for a Messiah, but not a lowly human who didn't come to conquer their enemies. They'd made their Messiah into one like Moses, one who would take them out of bondage from the Romans and set up a kingdom on earth for them, freeing them from all tyrannical rule. Yes, the promised Messiah was going to free them, the promised Messiah was going to set up a way to eternal life that could never be denied. All that was foretold and all that came to pass in Jesus, but they refused to see because they'd confounded the heavenly meaning with their earthly interpretations. Seeing a man they imagined to be just like them proclaiming to be the Son of God, proclaiming to have existed before Abraham- they were enraged by the sheer audacity, by the blasphemy they believed was coming from this mere mortal man.


Joh 4:24 God is a Spirit, and those worshipping Him, in spirit and truth it doth behove to worship.


The Spirit who became flesh, who was to be called the Son of God upon His birth into humanity, existed at Creation.


Col 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
Col 1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
Col 1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
Col 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
Col 1:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.


Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Joh 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Joh 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Joh 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.


Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.


The Word was WITH God, the Word WAS God. Two Gods. One of those Gods- the Word- was made flesh and called the Son of God.


Luk 1:35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee SHALL BE called the Son of God.


Young's Literal Translation (1898)
Luk 1:35 And the messenger answering said to her, `The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee, therefore also the holy-begotten thing shall be called Son of God


Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.


The ONLY begotten of the Father.


Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.


Jesus could truthfully say He was before Abraham, that all things were created by Him because it's true. He was there, a God, with God. And He divested Himself of His divinity to become human, to be called the Son of God- born of God. PRAISE GOD! Resisting all temptation to sin, God in human form, taking on our flesh, taking on our carnal nature prone to sin and remaining sinless, God who had created mankind- was able to redeem mankind!


Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.


Jesus who was there in Creation, Jesus who was there throughout all history from Abraham to Moses, to David and there with all the patriarchs in between, with all the prophets- this SAME Jesus who was there during the Ten Commandments, this SAME Jesus witnessed EVERYTHING from the beginning onwards and can say truthfully-


Jesus Christ the SAME yesterday, today, and for ever!


Jesus Christ the SAME from the beginning, the present, the future!


We cannot take Jesus out of life at all whatsoever- He is the giver of all life. He didn't fall asleep and let God the Father just take over only to be nudged awake so He could go to earth and take on flesh. He was very much wide awake and aware of all that transpired from the beginning and through all history. When we say the God of the Old Testament was different, He was mean and nasty, we are speaking of the same God in the New Testament. Jesus was there in the beginning and throughout - agreeing and taking part in all that was done.


Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.


PRAISE GOD! All glory to God! There is NO confusion!


Joh 10:25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye do not believe; the works that I do in the name of my Father, these testify concerning me


Joh 10:30 I and the Father are one.


They didn't just become one in their actions, their agreements when Jesus became flesh, but LONG before Jesus took on flesh they were one in all that was taking place.


Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.


Glory to God in the Highest!!!!


All praise and majesty to our King!!!!


We have a faithful Savior who has promised us life in Him and all His promises are true! We have a wonderful Father in Heaven witnessing all that transpires! We have a Holy Spirit sent to guide us on earth, guide us to all the knowledge we'll ever need to claim Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, our Redeemer!


We can't praise God, we can't praise our Savior, we can't praise the Holy Spirit enough, not ever!


Amen!
