Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
The most succinct way to summarize this verse and all that has preceded it in the book of Hebrews is to say that Christ is Unchangeable: "not able to change or be changed; immutable."* He is the most solid foundation we can find for truth and life. One of the passages in this deep work of art that leads up to this statement is in chapter 6:
17 So when God desired to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable character of his purpose, he guaranteed it with an oath, 18 so that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us. 19 We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain, 20 where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.
Jesus, the most solid foundation for the soul we could have, has gone into the holiest of places for us - into the very presence of God on our behalf, and He will be there forever. Nothing will change His mind or His will to be there for us. He is the solid anchor for our souls.
