This Same Jesus

Hello Everyone,
Read with me if you will our text for this week. It is found in Acts chapter 1.

8But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
9After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.
10They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. 11"Men of Galilee," they said, "why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven."

One of the greatest things about Jesus is that He never changes.

· He is not kind one day and harsh the next.
· He is not ready to heal one minute and reluctant the next.
· He is not ready to save one day and the next show no concern.

He is always “Jesus Christ [The Anointed One] the same yesterday, today and forever”. Hebrews 13:8

Always the same just as He was in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

We see Him healing and delivering people at every turn.
People did not have to convince Him they just simply asked and He answered.

Jesus never said NO to those who came to Him in faith. He always supplied their need.

THIS SAME JESUS!

Religious tradition has taught us that at some time during the past 2000 years, Jesus changed.

At some time He started telling people no when they came.

This is not true. He is the same He has always been. “THIS SAME JESUS”!

And “OH HOW HE LOVES US!
See you tomorrow.
