C. H. Spurgeon · Modern retelling

"Thou art from everlasting." — Psalm 93:2 · KJV

Christ is everlasting. Of Him we may sing with David, "Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever." Rejoice, believer, in Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and for ever. Jesus always was. The Babe born in Bethlehem was united to the Word, which was in the beginning, by whom all things were made. The title by which Christ revealed Himself to John in Patmos was, "Him which is, and which was, and which is to come." If He were not God from everlasting, we could not so devoutly love Him; we could not feel that He had any share in the eternal love that is the fountain of all covenant blessings; but since He was from all eternity with the Father, we trace the stream of divine love to Himself, equally with the Father and the blessed Spirit. As our Lord always was, so also He is for evermore. Jesus is not dead: "He ever liveth to make intercession for us." Resort to Him in all your times of need, for He is waiting to bless you still. Moreover, Jesus our Lord ever shall be. If God should spare your life to fulfill your full span of threescore years and ten, you will find His cleansing fountain still open, and His precious blood not lost its power; you will find that the Priest who filled the healing fount with His own blood lives to purge you from all iniquity. When only your last battle remains to be fought, you will find that the hand of your conquering Captain has not grown feeble — the living Savior shall cheer the dying saint. When you enter heaven you will find Him there, bearing the dew of His youth; and through eternity the Lord Jesus shall remain the perennial spring of joy and life and glory to His people. Living waters may you draw from this sacred well! Jesus always was, He always is, He always shall be. He is eternal in all His attributes, in all His offices, in all His might, and in His willingness to bless, comfort, guard, and crown His chosen people.
