The Changeless Christ

See the stability that I am talking about, He is still the same.

In our own country Robert Ingersoll, a flaming orator, scoffed at Christ and Christianity.

Today men think less and less of Robert Ingersoll and more and more of Jesus Christ!

Look at the way Madelyn Murray O’Hare has done in this country, putting prayer out of schools and now she wants all religion off of the television.

And try as she might.

She might be able to convince the courts of this land to do away with religion.

But she can never take Jesus Christ out of your heart, once you have accepted Him as your personal Saviour!

And what’s even more today she is nowhere to be found and her son is doing a movement for Christ!

Every attempt to destroy the character of Christ has failed.

His critics go down to dusky death while He lives on, not in temples of wood and stone but in the hearts of men.

He is as far above all His critics as the heavens are above the earth.

He is the one great stainless character of all the ages.

He never changes in His love.

His love is a great love.

Go to the cross and watch Him as He bleeds His life away for us.

Why did He do it?

No one forced Him to give His life away.

He did it because He loved us so much.

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends" (John 15:13).

But His love was so great that He laid down His life for those who were not His friends, He laid it down for the sake of those who had rebelled against Him and broke His laws.

He laid down His LOVE for all of us, the good, the bad and the ones out there that try to turn others against Him!

His LOVE is an undying LOVE!

His LOVE has STABILITY!

His love is a universal love.

On the cross He was loving those who loved Him, yes, but He was also loving those who hated Him and brought about His death.

He loved those who laid the stripes on His back, those who spat in His face, those who plucked out His beard, those who nailed Him to the cross.

Today you can find all kinds of men in the world the rich, the poor, the great, the small, the educated, and the ignorant but you’ll never find a person whom Jesus does not love.

His love is a pardoning love.

Hear Him as in the hour of death He looks on His executioners and says, "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do" (Luke 23:34).

And we go back to Isaiah 1:18 to hear these gracious words,

"Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool."

He pardons and saves all who come to Him by faith.

After they become Christians do they ever sin again?

Yes, many-times, but there is a sweet remedy for those who have sinned.

We find it in 1 John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

He never changes in His Power.

He said in Matthew 28:18, "All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth." He still has that power and there is nothing like it.

Have you ever stopped to think about that statement?
