Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever (Heb. 13:8).
Jesus Christ is still the Son of God, still the Great Unique.
When proofreaders find what they think is a mistake, they cross it out. If later they discover that what they thought was a mistake is correct, they write the word "stet" over against their marking. This means that their change was wrong: "Let the original stand." So Pilate might have written over against Christ, "Stet--I was wrong; let the original stand."
We can depend on Jesus. He does not change with the weather, with the regime, with the economic situation or the political wind. He is the Son of God, the Savior, the Redeemer, the Lord our righteousness, "whose goings forth have been...from everlasting," as we read in Micah 5:2. Those who knew Him best said, "Thou are the Son of God; thou are the King of Israel" (John 1:49). Our Savior will be the same tomorrow, for "he shall reign...for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end" (Luke 1:33). People have condemned Him, repudiated Him, neglected Him, rejected Him, but they have not changed Him or His power to save.
Those who try to forget Jesus, and just hope that when they look around He will not be there, will be disappointed. He will be there. You may have rejected Him and considered the case closed, but it will be opened again. "Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained" (Acts 17:31).
Yes, the case will be reopened. Jesus Christ is always the same--yesterday, today, tomorrow, and forever. As revealed to us in the Holy Scripture, the original must stand, "that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father" (Phil. 2:11).
MEDITATION PRAYER: "But thou are the same, and thy years shall have no end" (Ps. 102:27).
