Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. [Hebrews 13:8 NCV]
It is hard to read this and not remember the words that God used to describe himself to Moses. The divine descriptor he uttered was "I Am". I looked up the Greek word translated "the same" here and found that an alternative definition is "self". The idea that Jesus is the "I Am".
This makes sense to me because I believe that Jesus is divine. God in the flesh. Therefore he is "I Am". The divine self. The one who is eternally the same. Love never changing and never ending. Eternal mercy and goodness. Always present with us. These are descriptors of a divine being.
This brings me such comfort Lord. You are always trustable because you are always the same.
... this devotion is part of a series from the book of Hebrews.
