TFPC EM NEWSLETTER - DECEMBER 4, 2019
Wednesday, December 4, 2019 at 9:52AM Our Battle Cry
Today is December 4, 2019
Welcome to December and your mid-week!
By itself, Hebrews 13:8 is describing Jesus as God.
The phrase "is the same yesterday and today and forever" invokes what God describes of himself in Isaiah 44:6 as well as what Jesus declares of himself in Revelation 22:13. Jesus is God. He is never changing, eternal, and everlasting; the same yesterday, today, and forever.
And yet, in context, Hebrews 13:8 is more than just a creed, it is a battle cry.
With the persecution that the 1st century Jewish Christians were experiencing, the author of Hebrews writes his letter to encourage them to keep their faith and to run their race. Over and over he shows how Jesus is greater and, therefore, the best person to rely on. Why? Because he is
"the same yesterday and today and forever"
Challenges will come and go. Obstacles will come and go. People will come and go. But the love of Lord endures forever. So, run to him. Rally behind him. As Habakkuk says
Habakkuk 3:19
The Sovereign Lord is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to tread on the heights.
God's blessing upon you this week and I look forward to seeing you all this Sunday.
