Bible In A Year | Read: Hebrews 13
5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” 6 So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?” 7 Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith. 8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Hebrews 13:5-8
Overview of Chapter
Hebrews closes with practical advice about how Christians should act toward others. Their lives should be characterized by love, hospitality, faithfulness in marriage, contentment, and respect for authority.
In times of hardship, it can be easy to focus on self-preservation and ignore our treatment of others. Those who strengthen their relationship with God in hardship will be characterized by love for others.
Thoughts on the verses
In good and bad days, Jesus never changes. During summer, winter, autumn, or spring, Jesus never changes. In the past, Jesus showed His goodness to us. Today, He is still so good and faithful to us. Tomorrow and forever, He will still be the same. He knows our future and has already planned for it. He has also planned eternal blessings for us.
The power of Jesus’ name never changes. The powerful name of Jesus that healed the blind, the lepers, and the bleeding woman never changes and is still happening today. The name of Jesus that cast the demon out from the blind and mute man is still working these days. Jesus’ power that turned water into wine, calmed the storm, and walked on water is still the same today! The name Jesus Christ has been used throughout the centuries and it remains the most powerful name ever known!
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Prayer
Dear Jesus, thank You for being the same yesterday, today, and forever. Your love and power are everlasting. Amen.

Have you ever thought it would be cool to hear some C3 leaders discuss the daily verses, share about their lives and mostly just talk about nonsense? Of course not!…even though nobody has ever thought that we are still doing it. You can follow along with us each morning in a brand new podcast – Wednesday Hump Day & Imitation Christianity.
