Earlier in this Hebrews series, we looked at some verses that form the basis for my understanding of theology. Here’s another.

…BUT YOU ARE THE SAME… – Hebrews 1:12 NASB

This truth bookends Hebrews.

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

I said if you want to know what God is like–what kind of things He does–what kinds of things He doesn’t do, you look at Jesus. Jesus ONLY did what He saw His Father do.

These bookend verses make this theological idea vastly more potent.

If Jesus healed every sickness and disease while He walked through the little towns of Galilee, He still does.

If He ever had compassion on a sinful woman or man, He still does today.

If He ever hated hypocrisy He still does today.

If He ever brought salvation to a repentant sinner, He still does today.

This is why the gospels are so important. We must look at Jesus. He will show us the Father.

Remember in John 14 when Jesus was preparing the boys for His crucifixion?

Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.”

Jesus said to him, “Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? – John 14:8-9

There it is, my theology in a nutshell.

Look at Jesus

Thanks for stopping in.

Have a great day.
