The Same Jesus—Jesus The Same

Acts 2

    These passages of Scripture speak of one that is separate and exclusive in his own right. The virtue, character and quality of this one can never be credited to another being. All creation is ultimately for HIS honor and glory. Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created (Rv 4:11). All of holy writ’s wondrous story and detail penned by Divinity, declares his majesty and excellence above all others. No matter when or where, in time or eternity, this one is the same Jesus—Jesus the same. The Lord Jesus Christ is exactly that which his name declares him to be—Lord and Christ! He is immutably Lord, and there is no other Lord. He is the Father’s anointed Lord and Savior. He is Lord and Savior yesterday, today and forever!

    This same Jesus created all things, sovereignly rules over all things, changes what he is pleased to change, saves whom he is pleased to save, and destroys what he is pleased to destroy. All this in perfect holiness and righteousness. Yet he never changes! For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed (Mi 3:6).

    It is virtually impossible for creatures of dust to fathom the immutability of another, but this we must remember; he is not a creature. He is the creator! By God’s grace, we must view him as he is. The same Jesus—Jesus the same. Some day, those who know him by faith will see him as he is (1 Jn 3:2). For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes (Rv 7:17). Until then the message of the Gospel is the same;For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake (2 Cor 4:5).

    With all of life’s transitions, the children of God have an Anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, eternal in the heavens: The same Jesus—Jesus the same.
