The Eternal Nature of Christ

"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." - Hebrews 13:8

"The LORD, the LORD, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin." - Exodus 34:6-7

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it. - John 1:1-5


Jesus Christ, you are the same today as you will be tomorrow.
Your love is never changing from the beginning of time until the end.

Your love for us is the same as it was at the dawning of our species,
The same when life first arose on this planet at your command.

Your love for us is the same at the start of our own lives,
It will be the same as our lives end and beyond.

Jesus Christ, you were the same when our planet first formed,
Your love for us was no less when the planet cooled and the oceans formed.

Your love for us was no less when our sun began to shine,
The same love when our sun finally dies in your timing.

Your love for us was there many billions of years ago,
It will be the same in billions of years time and further beyond.

Jesus Christ, you were the same when our galaxy formed,
Your love for us was no less when countless stars first shone together.

Your love for us was no less when the first elements became,
The same love when light first spread across space and time.

Your love for us was there when our universe began,
It was the same before our universe existed.

Jesus Christ, you are the same today as you will be tomorrow.
Your love is never changing from the beginning of time until the end.

Your love for us will be no less when machines join us in worship,
The same love that welcomes all who love you.

Your love will be there if we make contact with your Others,
It will be the same when your church reaches across the Universe.

Jesus Christ, you will be the same if humanity fades,
Your love for us all extends beyond all possibilities.

Your love will be no less when our world becomes barren.
The same love that will continue beyond the fate of our galaxy.

Your love will be there when the universe dies.
It will be the same when all things become cold and lifeless.

Jesus Christ, your love will be the same always.
Your love is never changing from the beginning of time until the end.

I thank you.
