Title: Jesus Christ, Our Forever Friend

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Hebrew 13:8

Have you ever had a friend who was always there for you? Someone you could count on no matter what? Well, Jesus is that kind of friend, and even more! He is always with us, and His love for us never changes.

In the Bible, in the book of Hebrews, it says, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” That means that no matter what happens, Jesus will always be the same. He will always love us, care for us, and be there for us.

Just think about it – Jesus was there when the world was created. He was there when Noah built the ark. He was there when Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt. He was there when David defeated Goliath. And He is still here with us today!

When we feel sad, Jesus is there to comfort us. When we feel scared, Jesus is there to give us courage. When we feel happy, Jesus is there to celebrate with us. He is our forever friend, and we can always trust in His love.

So, the next time you feel worried or unsure, remember that Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He will never leave us, and His love for us will never change. We can always turn to Him and find comfort, peace, and joy.
Let’s take a moment to thank Jesus for being our forever friend and for His unchanging love. Jesus loves you today, just as He loved you yesterday, and He will love you forever!

Thought for Reflection
Have you ever wondered if things will always stay the same? Sometimes, it can be hard to trust that things will never change. But there is one person who will always be the same, and that is Jesus Christ! He is our forever friend.

Song
I’ve found a Friend; oh, such a Friend!
He loved me ere I knew Him;
He drew me with the cords of love,
And thus He bound me to Him.
And ’round my heart still closely twine
Those ties which nought can sever,
For I am His, and He is mine,
Forever and forever.

Prayer
Dear Jesus, thank you for always being there for us. Thank you for being the same yesterday, today, and forever. Thank you for your unchanging love and for being our forever friend. Help us to trust in your unchanging love and to remember that you are always with us. In your name, we pray. Amen
