NASB:
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
NIV:
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Observations:
Jesus Christ is the same today as he was yesterday.
Jesus Christ will be the same forever as he was yesterday and is today.
Takeaways:
The author of Hebrews is trying to convey the consistency of Christ, especially in contrast to our own human tendencies.
During life in this broken world, we experience ups and downs on a daily basis, causing us to be inconsistent in our behaviors and attitudes.
Jesus is never inconsistent. He is, has always been and always will be the same at all times.
Therefore, instead of us trying to cling to our own flimsy selves, we should anchor our lives to the rock that will not be shaken.
