Hebrews 13:8 “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.”
We all know that Jesus Christ is God; unless we delete the entire bible we must believe that the man Christ Jesus is God. However, with that being said we must also remember that Jesus Christ was and is a man; His status did not change after His death, burial, and resurrection. Mark 14:62 “And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.” The word “Power” should be capitalized because it refers to God. That is where the Son of man sits today still in His glorified body. But He is still God even though He is still a man in a glorified human body. Remember the angels told the men of Galilee in Acts 1:11 “Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.” Meaning everything about Him would be the same even though it has been more than two-thousand since His death and resurrection. Jesus Christ has not changed in any way. “this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven” the very same one. Some people (whether Christians or not) want to believe that since sentiment among the people on earth, and/or some religion groups, and/or even some Christians wants Jesus to have changed over time that somehow things He and others in the bible taught are no longer valid but they are most definitely wrong. Nothing has changed with God. People have changed, churches have changed, the world has changed, but Jesus Christ and His word have not changed and never will. Whatever was wrong or right two-thousand years ago is still wrong or right today. The United States government has the right to change our laws but no authority to change Gods. Even if the world was to agree on change it would not change Gods thinking or ways. God does not seek mans counsel or advise on how to run the world. So next time people say that what you say or think is old school just thank them because the thinking and ways of God are old school. Do you really think that church services today are anything like what they had in the first churches? The people standing up waving their arms, singing rock and roll? I don’t hardly think so. There were not gay churches, cowboy churches, motorcycle churches, or etc, etc, etc,. The church assembled, prayed, sang bible songs, and taught the truth, none of this stuff you see in churches today. They did not seek to please man but rather God. No, Christ Jesus has not changed, He is the same and so is His thinking and ways. The only change has been man who has changed the truth of God into a lie to satisfy the lost among them. Jesus warned the churches in Revelation 2:5 “Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.” Folks, be careful in trying new things when it comes to Jesus Christ and the churches because not everyone who claims to be of His are. False prophets are everywhere starting places of worship calling them churches that are not even close to being what a church is. The word and the truth of the word have not changed because it is Gods word. God is not concerned with the world and what it takes to get them to church, He builds the churches and if He wanted them in church He would put them in church.
