Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Hebrews 13:8
The Christian converts of Jerusalem felt their city would soon be capital of the entire world, for Jesus was to return, establish His Kingdom and rule with justice and peace. The reality was, their city would soon be obliterated from the face of the earth for the rest of their lifetime. The faith of the early church was going to be tested and stretched as Rome did its worst.
Hebrews is the last epistle written. Paul writes, only a few years before the destruction of David’s City, not knowing the future, but knowing His LORD.
Aside from John’s account of the empty tomb, there are no words in scripture that give me more hope than these. Before the world was created Jesus was there and as man fell short of the perfect image of God there was a plan of redemption and restoration. Today, I am a sinner saved by grace because everything He’s ever done for anyone else (as scripture tells), He will do for me and you, all because our Eternal Savior loves.
You are loved,
