God Never Changes

Tues., Sept. 20, 2011



Hebrews 13:8 (KJV) Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. 

Hebrews 13:8 (CEV)  Jesus Christ never changes! He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.



Did you know that Jesus was with the Father even before the very beginning of the earth? And that HE never changes?


John 1:1-5 (KJV)  1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  2The same was in the beginning with God.  3All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.  4In him was life; and the life was the light of men.  5And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.



God
sent The Word, His Son to the earth that the world might be saved.  John 3:16 (KJV)  16For 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 taught in the temple, on the hill sides and even in people's homes.  The people followed Him wherever He went and He taught them.   

John 8:12 (KJV) 12Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.


John 14:6 (KJV)  6Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

John 10:7-9 (AMP)  7So Jesus said again, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, that I Myself am the Door for the sheep.

8
All others who came [as such] before Me are thieves and robbers, but the [true] sheep did not listen to and obey them.

9
I am the Door; anyone who enters in through Me will be saved (will live). He will come in and he will go out [freely], and will find pasture.



And yet many still did NOT understand.  It took
His Death on the Cross, and His Resurrection, for many, even the disciples, to truly understand that He was and is God, the Life, the Light, and the Salvation of the World! 


Luke 24:44-48 (AMP)
44Then He said to them, This is what I told you while I was still with you: everything which is written concerning Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.

45
Then He [thoroughly] opened up their minds to understand the Scriptures,

46
And said to them, Thus it is written that the Christ (the Messiah) should suffer and on the third day rise from (among) the dead,

47
And that repentance [with a view to and as the condition of] forgiveness of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

48
You are witnesses of these things.


Do we really understand who Jesus is?  Do we understand that He died to save us from Eternal Damnation and to give us Eternal Life?  What is it going to take for us to accept that He really is GOD?

Will we accept Jesus as our Savior now, as the Son of the One True and Living God?  Or will we reject HIM as THE WORD of GOD, The Son of the Most High until we see Him in those last days, when it is too late??? 


Revelation 19:11-13, 16 (KJV)  11And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.


12
His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.


13And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.


16
And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
