Heb. 13:8

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

Hebrews 13 begins with many exhortations to believers. Initially they are to continue to love one another as well show hospitality to strangers. Why? Certainly to show the grace of God to them but also these strangers might be angels. What would that be like? Entertaining an angel in disguise! 

We must also remember prisoners and the mistreated as think of them and treat them as we would want to be treated. I can only imagine how devastating it would be to be in such a hostile environment. My dependence on God would be at its max! 

Marriage must be held in honor. God does not condone immorality or adultery. The world may think 'loves' free, but the bill will come due one day! 

We are to keep free from the love of money and make contentment our principle for living! Why be content? Why feel no need to get ahead in this world? Because The Lord is our helper; we will not fear; what can man do to us? In no way do we fear man or depend on man! 

The author urges believers to remember and imitate their spiritual leaders. Look at the outcome of their faith! Finally, the reason for it all. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. What an anchor! Just to know that He is unfailing everyday and in every circumstance! Just to know He is the reason for all life and my every moment!

Father,

Thank You for these reminders. Help me always remember you are my helper especially as I fly today to PHX. Help me to rest in You unafraid of health issues, getting kicked off the plane, or having difficulty getting home. Thank You, Jesus, that You are a constant in my life.

In Jesus name,

Amen
