Focus on God’s Goodness-Unchanging Nature
JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Focus on God’s Goodness is found in Hebrews 13:8.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Jesus would often state his identity, starting with the words, “I am.” What was true of the identity of Jesus then is true of His identity now.
The promises Jesus made in the past will be fulfilled in the future.
The commands of Jesus that were given then are relevant today.
The love that Jesus demonstrated at the cross is reaching out to the world today to save those who are lost in sin.
In Hebrews 13:5, God says, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” So today, we can say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.”
The unchanging nature of Jesus reveals the goodness of God and is a reason to give thanks in the Year of Gratitude.
