Yesterday, Today, Forever
1 Timothy 3: 14-16
"Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever."
Christian leader A. B. Simpson wrote, “Yesterday, today, forever, Jesus is the same. / All may change, but Jesus never–Glory to His Name!” We have a Savior who is eternal in the heavens, without beginning or ending, from everlasting to everlasting. He is our Alpha and Omega. After He descended to the world, lived righteously, died sacrificially, and rose victoriously, He resumed His place on the throne of majesty.
What He did for us changes everything about our yesterday, today, and forever.
All the sins, hurts, abuses, failures, and regrets of yesterday are swallowed up in the crimson flood of His all-forgiving, all-redeeming blood. Our lives today are in His hands, guarded by His power, and guided by His purposes for us. Our future is filled with reassurances for our remaining days on earth, with eternal glory to follow.
The Resurrection of Christ changes our past and future, and it changes our today. To the believer, every Lord’s Day commemorates the Resurrection of Christ, and every moment of every day is a celebration of His blessings to us—yesterday, today, and forever.
A point to ponder…
As He walked once to Emmaus, with them to abide, / So through all life’s way He walketh, ever near our side.
A. B. Simpson
