Jesus Christ is the same

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Hebrews 13:8 (NLT)

The present-tense Christ. He never says "I was." We do. We do because "we were."

We were younger, faster, prettier. Prone to be people of the past tense, we reminisce. Not God. Unwavering in strength, he need never say, "I was." Heaven has no rearview mirrors....

Can God be more God? No. He does not change. He is the "I am" God. "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever."

“For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus."
