This morning, my little guy sat in my lap, saw this "saying" on facebook, and said, "I don't get it."
"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever," I replied. "It's a Bible verse." Silent pause.
"It means that Jesus never changes. He never gets so angry with us that He decides to destroy us all. He never gets so frustrated with us that He decides He's not going to save us after all." Light bulb. He's always faithful, always loving, always just, always holy, always good, always Jesus. He always keeps His promises.
I'm thankful for the reminder. Usually, while reading things on facebook, I just sort of skim over the sayings and the admonitions to re-post things if I really love Jesus. Today, I got to really think about what Hebrews 13:8 means by explaining it to a child, my child, and that always touches me. Thanks Lord, for the reminder.
It's an awesome verse, especially in light of how much we change. Jesus is always the same!
