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

IN GOD’S WORD:
IT’S ALL ABOUT JESUS

NO, NOT EVER

No, not in the past
nor right now,
nor in the future
will my Lord Jesus
nor His perfect Love
nor His life’s sacrifice,
ever fail.

No, not on Monday,
nor on Tuesday,
nor on Wednesday,
nor on Thursday,
nor on Friday,
Saturday
nor Sunday.

Not for Adam
nor for Eve
nor for Noah
nor Abraham
nor for Moses
nor for David—
blessed Jesus.

Not the Fall,
nor the Flood,
nor in Egypt,
nor the desert,
Babylon,
Jerusalem—
blessed Jesus.

Not the Serpent,
nor Egyptians
nor the giants
in the land,
nor Philistines
nor the Romans—
blessed Jesus.

Not the Caesars
nor barbarians
nor Napoleon
no, not Lenin,
no, not Hitler
not even Mao—
blessed Jesus.

No, not in the past
nor right now,
nor in the future
will my Lord Jesus
nor His perfect Love
nor His life’s sacrifice,
ever fail.

The more you read God’s Word, the more you really dig into God’s Story from Genesis to Revelation, the more fully you begin to understand the majesty of God’s Plan from Eternity. His Plan has always been for His Glory—revealing His Holiness, His Power, His Nature and His Love. In doing so, from the Creation of the world, culminating with the Creation of the first man and the first woman, God has been demonstrating who He is and how fully He wants each and every person to know how deeply they are valued and loved. Nothing in all of History has surprised Him; not the Fall, nor the first murder, nor the Flood, nor Babel, nor Abraham’s ups and downs, nor Jacob’s wrestling with His call, nor Moses and the Exodus from Egypt of God’s People, nor their wanderings in the wilderness, nor the Judges nor King Saul nor King David, nor Elijah, nor Elisha, nor Isaiah, nor Jeremiah nor the other Prophets, nor the Captivity in Babylon, nor Ezra and Nehemiah and the return to Jerusalem, nor the silent years, nor the birth of John the Baptist, then his cousin, Jesus, nor His teaching, nor His miracles, nor His laying down His life, nor His burial nor His resurrection, nor His ascension back into Heaven, nor the Apostles, Peter, John and then, Paul, nor the spread of the Gospel, nor the growth of His Church. God’s Perfect Gospel Plan has always been on His Mind and in His Heart. And it has always been ALL ABOUT JESUS.

Exodus 12:23 ESV
For the LORD will pass through to strike the Egyptians, and when he sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the LORD will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to enter your houses to strike you.

“ . . . the LORD will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to enter your houses to strike you.” Every precious lamb that was slain on that first and subsequent Passovers was a type of the Lamb of God, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who willingly lay down His perfect, His sinless life, for us; to cover the penalty for our sin and rebellion against God. His blood covered once and forever  the debt we could not pay. This had been God’s eternal Gospel plan in the mind of the Father, to be accomplished by the Son and to be confirmed by the Holy Spirit.

Isaiah 7:14 ESV
Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

Throughout God’s Word His Old Testament Prophets pointed out time and time again, how the Day was coming when Jesus would be born to a virgin, not bound by the sinfulness of any human father; free to live and face every temptation, and yet without sin, so that He could in obedience to God’s Eternal Will pay the price for our sin. In doing so He suffered at the hands of sinful men and bore on the cross the weight of all of our sin, and finally lay down His life to destroy our debt to sin. Then He arose victoriously on the third day, destroying the death penalty we all deserved.

John 1:1-5 ESV
In the beginning was the Word, and Word was with God. All things were made through Him, and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

ALWAYS AND FOREVER Jesus was with God as the Word God spoke through in Creation, in spite of the Fall, and in Redemption. Everything God made was made through Jesus. Jesus carried within His human body the life and light of men. Jesus, until this very day, shines that light and darkness has not, nor will not ever overcome it.

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

God has loved, does love, and will love each person in the world, so much He has given us the gift of Jesus. If we believe in Jesus, we do not perish, but we are given the free gift of eternal life. God sent Jesus, not to condemn anyone, but to give every person the opportunity of salvation rather than condemnation. So, any girl or boy or woman or man who believes in Jesus is not condemned, but any girl or boy or woman or man who does not believe in Jesus, lives under condemnation, because she or he refuses to believe in Jesus as the only Son of God.

Acts 1:8 ESV
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

Here is Jesus’ final command to the Apostles: “I am sending the power of the Holy Spirit. Then, go and be my witnesses here in this city, the center of our people, and also throughout our ancestral home, and in Samaria where cultural enemies live, and throughout the whole world.” Jesus emphatically gave the Apostles His holy charge to take the Gospel message of salvation through faith in Him to every person, no matter who they are, no matter where they are. There are no boundaries for the Gospel. Our opportunity and our call is to everyone here at home and to everyone throughout the whole world.

Revelation 5:9-10 ESV
“Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain,, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation, and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth.”

Again, Jesus as the Lamb of God, as this old earth nears its end, becomes the central figure of all history and eternity. He, alone, because of His sacrifice, is able to open the seals which reveal details of God’s final victory over evil. He has ransomed from every tribe and language and people and nation those who will become His kingdom and his priests, to reign with Him.

Revelation 22:13 ESV
“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”

So, in eternity, through history, and in eternity again, Jesus is the Alpha and the beginning of all beginnings and the ending of all endings until there is a New Heaven and a New Earth where our focus will be on Him for His ultimate glory and our ultimate joy forever and forever. Hallelujah! Amen! Hallelujah! Amen! Hallelujah! Amen!

IT’S ALL ABOUT JESUS!!!
