Opening Verse:
“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.” – Hebrews 13:8
Introduction:
Salvation is a timeless gift, not confined to any single moment or era. It’s an eternal promise that spans across all of history and into the future, offered to us through Jesus Christ.
Devotional Story:
In a small village, there lived a wise old man who was known for his deep understanding of life and spirituality. One day, a young traveler came to him with questions about life, time, and eternity. The old man smiled and began to share a story about a river that flowed through their village.
“This river,” he said, “flows continuously, never stopping, never changing its course. It has been here since before I was born and will continue long after I’m gone. Just like the river, God’s promise of salvation through Jesus Christ is eternal. It was available to our ancestors, it’s available to us today, and it will be there for future generations.”
The traveler listened intently as the old man explained how salvation transcends time, just as the river transcends the boundaries of the village. It’s a constant, unchanging promise from God, accessible to all who believe, regardless of the era they live in.
What This Means:
Salvation through Jesus is not limited by time. It is as relevant and accessible today as it was two thousand years ago and will remain so forever. This timeless nature of salvation assures us that no matter when we come to know Christ, His promise of eternal life is always valid.
Think About This:
Consider the constancy of God’s promises and how they are not affected by the passing of time. How does understanding the timeless nature of salvation affect your faith and how you live your life?
Prayer:
Lord, thank You for the eternal promise of salvation through Jesus Christ. Help us to grasp the magnitude of Your timeless gift and to live in the light of Your eternal love. Amen.
Closing Verse:
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” – John 3:16
