"FOR I AM THE LORD, I CHANGE NOT." Immutability is one of the essential perfections of Jehovah. He presents it as His right, and a source of comfort to His people, when He says "I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed." The Lord Jesus is immutable, because He is divine and changes not. He is the same in all the glories of His person, in all the purposes of His heart, in all the doctrines of His gospel, in the greatness of His love, in the omnipotence of His power, in the tenderness of His sympathy, in the merit of His blood, and in His hatred to sin. Is Jesus immutable? Then let us adore Him as divine. Let us trust Him with unwavering confidence. Let us hold fast the precious truths of His holy gospel. Let us find comfort in Him, when our earthly gourds wither, and all our cisterns are broken. He is the same in darkness as in the light. When we are cast down, as when we are filled with joy, He is still Jesus, the same Saviour: the kind, condescending, faithful, tender Saviour. He is the same tonight as when we first tasted His love; and as when our hearts sang at the sound of His name.

For Meditation:
His purpose and love are the same,
Whatever the changes I find,
A trifle may alter my frame,
But nothing unsettles His mind.
