Eternal Son of God

“they themselves will perish, but as for you, you are remaining; and they all will become old as a garment,"

Hebrews 1:11

"and as a cloak you will roll them up; as a garment they will also be changed. But as for you, you are the same and your years will not come to an end.'"

Hebrews 1:12

The word "they" refers to the earth and the heavens: "they themselves will perish."

2 Peter 3:7, 10-13: "But the present heavens and earth by His word are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men....But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up. Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, on account of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat! But according to His promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells" (NASB).

verse 12: “and as a cloak you will roll them up; as a garment they will also be changed. But as for you, you are the same, and your years will not come to an end.'"

There are 2 contrasts in verses 11 and 12: (1) The heavens and the earth will perish, but the Lord will be remaining. (2) "they [referring to the heavens and the earth] all will become old as a garment...but [in contrast] you [referring to the Lord] are the same, and your years will not come to an end."

Both of these phrases "you are remaining" in verse 11 and "your years will not come to an end" in verse 12 refer to the eternality of the Son of God.

Hebrews 13:8: "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today yes and forever" (NASB)

John 10:28-29: "and I give eternal life to them and they shall never perish; and no one shall snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand" (NASB).

My heart is overflowing with love for the eternal Son of God, Jesus Christ my Savior. I think it would be appropriate for us t sing "My Jesus, I Love Thee":

My Jesus I love Thee; I know Thou art mine.

If Thee all the follies of Sin I resign.

My gracious Redeemer, My Savior art Thou.

If ever I loved Thee, My Jesus, 'tis now.

I love Thee, Because Thou hast first loved me.

And purchased my pardon On Calvary's tree.

I love Thee For wearing the thorns On Thy brow,

If ever I loved Thee, My Jesus, 'tis now.

I'll love Thee in life, I will love Thee in death.

And praise Thee As long as Thou lendest me breath;

And say when the death dew Lies cold on my brow,

"If ever I loved Thee, My Jesus 'tis now."

In mansions of glory And endless delight,

I'll ever adore Thee In heaven so bright.

I'll sing with the glittering crown On my brow,

"If ever I loved Thee, My Jesus, 'tis now."

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)
