"Thou art from everlasting."
--Psalm 93:2
Christ is EVERLASTING. Of Him we may sing with David, "Thy
throne, O God, is for ever and ever." Rejoice, believer, in
Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, to-day, and for ever. Jesus
always was . The Babe born in Bethlehem was united to the Word,
which was in the beginning, by whom all things were made. The
title by which Christ revealed Himself to John in Patmos was,
"Him which is, and which was, and which is to come." If He were
not God from everlasting, we could not so devoutly love Him; we
could not feel that He had any share in the eternal love which
is the fountain of all covenant blessings; but since He was from
all eternity with the Father, we trace the stream of divine love
to Himself equally with His Father and the blessed Spirit. As
our Lord always was , so also He is for evermore. Jesus is not
dead; "He ever liveth to make intercession for us." Resort to
Him in all your times of need, for He is waiting to bless you
still. Moreover, Jesus our Lord ever shall be . If God should
spare your life to fulfil your full day of threescore years and
ten, you will find that His cleansing fountain is still opened,
and His precious blood has not lost its power; you shall find
that the Priest who filled the healing fount with His own blood,
lives to purge you from all iniquity. When only your last battle
remains to be fought, you shall find that the hand of your
conquering Captain has not grown feeble--the living Saviour
shall cheer the dying saint. When you enter heaven you shall
find Him there bearing the dew of His youth; and through
eternity the Lord Jesus shall still remain the perennial spring
of joy, and life, and glory to His people. Living waters may you
draw from this sacred well! Jesus always was, He always is, He
always shall be. He is eternal in all His attributes, in all
His offices, in all His might, and willingness to bless,
comfort, guard, and crown His chosen people.
