Yesterday, Today, Forever: Jesus NEVER Changes

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

I took a long walk earlier this morning—down by the little trail near the old bridge—and I found myself whispering one scripture over and over, like oxygen for my soul: “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” (Hebrews 13:8). It’s funny how a verse I’ve known since childhood can suddenly feel brand new when my heart is tired or overwhelmed.

The world feels so volatile at times—like sand shifting under my feet. People change, circumstances change, plans change, my own emotions change. And sometimes I catch myself wishing life could slow down just long enough for me to breathe deeply. But today, while walking in the crisp morning air, I heard that familiar whisper of the Holy Spirit reminding me: Jesus never changes. No matter how chaotic everything feels, He remains the same steady, loving, faithful Savior.

I let that truth settle in my spirit like warm sunlight.

The Power of His Name Never Changes
I kept thinking about the first part of Hebrews 13:8—“Jesus Christ is the same…”—as if the sentence couldn’t even wait to introduce “yesterday, today, and forever.” The emphasis is on His identity first. Jesus Christ is the same. His very name carries power, and that power has not diluted over time. I think sometimes I forget just how much strength, authority, and gentleness is bound up in the name of Jesus.

When I first got saved, I remember how speaking His name felt like crossing from darkness into light. I was so tangled up in superstition, fear, and some practices I didn’t even fully understand at the time—things I now recognize as occult or spiritually dangerous. But when I gave my life to Jesus, all of those chains broke. It wasn’t because I suddenly became wise or brave—it was because His name carried a power that darkness couldn’t withstand. I didn’t fully understand it then, but looking back now, I see how strong and steady His hand was, even when I was stumbling my way into grace.

YESTERDAY

I love how the Lord doesn’t erase our past; He redeems it. Isaiah 54:4 has always touched me deeply: “You will forget the shame of your youth and remember no more the reproach of your widowhood.” Sometimes I read that verse and feel like God is wiping tears off my face with His own gentle hands.

My “yesterday” held mistakes, insecurities, and so much confusion about who I was. I carried shame that wasn’t even mine to carry. And I carried guilt over things God had already forgiven long before I forgave myself.

But today I’m reminded that Jesus stands in my yesterday, rewriting every chapter with mercy. He turned my fear into confidence, my doubt into trust, and my shame into a testimony of His goodness. Remembering what He did for me isn’t painful anymore—it’s a reminder of His unchanging love. Every time I think about the spiritual darkness I once dabbled in, I feel nothing but gratitude. He delivered me completely, and the power of His name is still as mighty today as it was the day He broke those chains off my life.

TODAY
As I write this, I’m sitting by my small bedroom window, watching the sunset paint gold across the sky. Today had its challenges—little stresses at work, a few anxious thoughts about my future, and some personal prayers that still feel unanswered. But even in those uncertainties, I sense His presence.

Someone once said, “The day of miracles is not past, because the God of miracles is still present.” That feels so true today. Jesus is not a distant memory or a historical figure preserved in ancient text. He is alive. He is with me. He listens to my prayers even when I’m too tired to articulate them well.

And even though my circumstances shift like unpredictable winds, Jesus does not move. He is the same today as He was when He healed the sick, calmed storms, forgave sinners, and called His friends by name. When I whisper “Jesus” in the middle of my anxiety, something changes inside me—not because I suddenly control my life, but because I remember Who is in control.

Sometimes I wish I could see the miracles He’s doing behind the scenes. But I’m learning to trust that just because I don’t see instant changes doesn’t mean He isn’t working. He is faithful today. He is present today. He is powerful today.

TOMORROW (FOREVER)
Thinking about tomorrow used to scare me. Not knowing where I’ll be in five years… not being sure how my future will unfold… wanting so badly to make the right choices and not disappoint God or myself. But today, pondering Hebrews 13:8, I felt this unexpected peace settle in me. If Jesus is the same forever, then my future is not a frightening unknown—it’s a place He already stands in, smiling, guiding, preparing, protecting.

He already knows the chapters I haven’t lived yet. He has already planned blessings I can’t imagine. And He has already forgiven mistakes I haven’t even made yet. What an overwhelming kind of love.

And thinking of children one day—the idea that their future is also secure in Him—makes my heart swell. Even though I’m not a mother yet, the reassurance that Jesus holds their tomorrows is deeply comforting. When the world seems unstable, I can already imagine myself speaking this truth over my future children: “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He will never leave you.” What a gift to pass down.

A Prayer from My Heart

Lord Jesus,
Thank You for being unchanging in a world that changes too quickly for my heart to keep up sometimes. Thank You for being the same Savior who rescued me years ago, the same presence that comforts me today, and the same God who already stands in my future with hope and purpose prepared for me. I praise You for Your name—so full of power, healing, and mercy. Thank You for redeeming my past, guiding me in the present, and securing my forever. When fear tries to control me, remind me of Your constancy. When doubt whispers, let Your truth speak louder. Jesus, I trust You with every yesterday, every today, and every tomorrow. Amen.

Closing Thoughts Tonight


As I end this post, I feel lighter than I did this morning. The world may still change at its dizzying pace, but I don’t feel left behind anymore. I feel held—gently, securely—by the One who has never changed and never will.

Maybe that’s what faith really is: not pretending that nothing changes, but remembering that He doesn’t.

And that is enough for me tonight.
Enough for today.
Enough for forever.

Thank You, Jesus.

      1. Nerd I like your cleavage. Personally I think that you are attracting your future husband. I find absolutely no fault in a young woman attracting her mate, not knowing who he is, or when he will appear. So don’t be hurt by criticism. Use what you have to attract the father of your children, and the companion for a lifetime. God gave to you your beauty so never be ashamed of it or hide it. If God did not want you to display it for the proper reasons, then he would never have given it to you. So never allow the convictions of other people to dictate to you how you are to behave. That is only between you, God, and your future husband. Other people are all too nosy and judgmental. Ah how I look forward to living in St. Kitts and Nevis where people don’t care how we look and they love us as we are. The “we” and “us” refer to EVERYBODY. Just one big happy peaceful family down there. Everyone is accepted on face value without any judgement. What a beautiful culture it is!

  3. Matthew 24:35 “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.” In the verse that you quoted from Hebrews all that it gives to me is an inner picture of Jesus never changing, like a statue of Jesus in a Catholic church. Yet what Jesus himself said about himself, he refers to himself as being the “Word of God”. “MY WORDS” refer to the words that he spoke while on earth. His words spoken by his own mouth in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, will by no means pass away. The love that I have inside of me is different from the love that people around me have. The love that I have they do not have, and visa versa. The love that I have is for every single word that was spoken by the mouth of Jesus Christ while he walked on earth. These words describe the personality, acts, works, and divine nature that are who Jesus Christ is. For he clearly is “The Word of God”. My love is to understand the meaning of the words that Jesus spoke here on earth. My love is also to be a doer of his commands and not a hearer only deceiving my own self. My major goal is to obey my King Jesus Christ exactly as he commanded in his Gospel story. I also have a love for people. It is for four people in particular. Father God has shown me much of my future life. In the inner Kingdom of God that Jesus Christ spoke of, this is the place where he told us that “Holy Spirit will show you things to come”. Holy Spirit has shown to me that I will indeed have a wife, and three children that will be born to us. The first names of each child are Becky, Rachel, and Peter. I witnessed the birth of each of them while holding the hand of my wife as she delivered each of them. I held each of then when they had only a few minutes before had come out of the womb. I helped to raise those children, and watched them grown into their teen years. I experienced the very best of them and I have the memories of them. The same is true of my wife although I do not yet know who she is. You see, in the inner Kingdom of God time travel happens as quickly as thoughts come to us. None of their faces have been revealed to me, but their essence has, and a shady outline of them is what I have seen. I have seen and experienced many years of my wife, and then each of my children like dreams I have at night. Yet when I wake up the features are no longer clear to me. And yet as I write this I have not yet discovered for certain who my wife is, and none of my children have yet been born. Yet I have inwardly experienced years of their lives, and I love each of them dearly and with all of my heart. God is good. His visions, and his promises shall come to pass.
