What comes to your mind when you hear the expression one-hit
wonder? You might think of some musician that came on the scene with a big hit,
but then disappeared just as quickly. According to a TV documentary, the
greatest one-hit wonder of all time was the group Baha Men, with that wonderful
melody Who Let the Dogs Out?
Groups like this have their 15 minutes of fame, but that is
it. Jesus is not that way. Hebrews 13:8 says that Jesus Christ is “the same
yesterday, and today, and forever.” That means that Jesus is more than religion
for a simpler time or something that worked for our grandmothers; He is today
everything He always was.
When Jesus said that the punishment for our sin is
separation from Him, that is still true today. When He said that He is the only
way to the Father, that is still true today. When He said that we must deny
ourselves and submit to Him, that is still true today. When He said we need to
love God and love others, that is still true today.
Jesus will never stop loving us, and His forgiveness will
always stand. Aren’t you glad that Jesus is not a one-hit wonder?
