Hebrews 1:12; 13:8

like a robe you will roll them up,
    like a garment they will be changed.
But you are the same,
    and your years will have no end.”

⁸ Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

The person of the Messiah has for many ages been the contemplation of those who expected Him, and those who had Him revealed.  In I Peter 1:11 it is said to be His “suffering and glory.”

In recounting the wonder of Messiah, both His person and His work, the writer of Hebrews places before us three great facts about the Savior.

First is His personal identity as God’s Son.  He gives Him this title based on the second Psalm.  In that Psalm God gives Him the relationship of Son and exalts Him to His kingly office.  That He was there, He is.

Second for His eternal position recognized in time as excelling all angels.  With their great and mighty power with its influence they were always servants in the house.  He is the Lord and Creator over the house.  There is really no comparison.

Third is His eternality.  He is in our Scripture above.  There are two truths worth noting here.

A.     Eternity has neither beginning nor ending.

B.     There has been and there will be, no change in Him.  Therein is our security.
