The Unchanging Love and Compassion of Christ
By A. W. Tozer
But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the
form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men.

- Philippians 2:7/* Because change is everywhere around us at all times*
* on this earth and among human beings, it is difficult for*
* us to grasp the eternal and unchanging nature and*
* person of Jesus Christ.** Nothing about our Lord Jesus Christ has changed*
* down to this very hour. His love has not changed. His*
* compassionate understanding of us has not changed.*
* His interest in us and His purposes for us have not*
* changed.** He is Jesus Christ, our Lord. He is the very same Jesus.*
* Even though He has been raised from the dead and seated*
* at the right hand of the Majesty in the heavens, and made*
* Head over all things to the Church, His love for us remains*
* unchanged.** It is hard for us to accept the majestic simplicity of
this*
* constant, wonder-working Jesus. We are used to getting*
* things changed so that they are always bigger and better!** He is Jesus, easier to approach than the humblest*
* friend you ever had! He is the sun that shines upon us,*
* He is the star of our night. He is the giver of our life and*
* the rock of our hope. He is our safety and our future.*
* He is our righteousness, our sanctification,*
* our inheritance.** /You will find that He is all of this in that instant that/*
*/ you move your heart towards Him in faith! This is the/*
*/ journey to Jesus that must be made in the depths of the/*
*/ heart and being. This is a journey where feet do not/*
*/ count!/*------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Yours in Christ,*
* Paul N. F.*
