Never

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. 

Hebrews 13:8 

Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, I will never leave you nor forsake you. So we may boldly say: The LORD is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me? 

Hebrews 13:5-6  

If Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever that has direct implications for us in our experience of Him. The second portion of our text utters one of the implications. Because Christ does not change, He will never leave us or forsake us. If He has said it, then He, being the same yesterday, today and forever, will be as good as His word. This means we need not covet what others have, because being always with us, He will meet our needs as the Shepherd. David said, ‘The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want.’ David’s Shepherd is our Shepherd. If he did not want then neither shall we. If Christ is ever  with us, and is the same yesterday, today and forever, then we need not fear what man shall do to us. If they go so far as to end our earthly life, they only promote us into His presence. This puts into perspective the power and presence of Christ in contrast to the power of man. Christ is for His people and with His people. He is the never-changing God, Who ever cares for those whom He has redeemed by free and sovereign grace.  

Our Glorious, Living Savior, 
we rejoice that You are always with us. 
We praise You that You will never abandon us, 
and that we are utterly secure.
