Jesus Christ Version 1.0

Heb. 13:8  Jesus Christ never changes!  He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. (CEV)

A software program or computer application is never perfect when it is initially developed.  In fact, it usually starts out in a beta version.  After "bug" fixes, subsequent added or deleted features, and other tweaks and refinements, a "beginning" version, usually dubbed 1.0, is released.  After that, updated versions 2.0, 3.0, etc., follow claiming to have better features and other significant improvements.  End users ultimately need and want a reliable, dependable and stable product.  One we can always count on.  One that is perfect.

Today, reflect on the amazing truth that Jesus Christ, in every way, is the One who is perfect.  Who always was perfect and always will be perfect.  This perfect Version 1.0 is not only the "beginning", the Alpha, but He continues on into forever and is the Omega (Rev. 1:8).  Because He is perfect, He doesn't change.  His character isn't flawed nor are His plans ill conceived or incomplete.  He isn't steadfast one day and wavering the next.  He doesn't help us one day and forsake us the next.  He doesn't love us one day and reject us the next.  He is reliable, dependable and provides a stability on our lives that will extend into all of eternity.  We can always count on Him.  There have been nor will there ever be any required updates.  He is the same perfect One yesterday, today, and forever!  All we need is Jesus Christ Version 1.0.


Sock Monkey Snippet:  Because He is perfect, He doesn't change.
