Hebrews 1:10-12 (ESV)
And,
“You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning,
and the heavens are the work of your hands;
they will perish, but you remain;
they will all wear out like a garment,
like a robe you will roll them up,
like a garment they will be changed.
But you are the same,
and your years will have no end.”
The writer of Hebrews is writing to the church to teach them that although all else will fail, Jesus remains. The writer is teaching them that Jesus is superior. He is even superior to the complete structure of all creation. The church was starting to fall into mediocrity and false doctrine. The writer wants them to persevere. He wants them to see that Jesus is forever while all else fails. In the above passage we read that the very foundations of the earth are, at one point, going to be rolled up like a piece of carpet and discarded. But Jesus remains the same. Before we seek other sources for our satisfaction we ought to consider the sustainability of those resources. What we see is temporary. Jesus is permanent.
