Hebrews 1:12

As a vesture. A striking picture of the decay and temporary nature of the heavens and the earth (see on v. 11).

Thou art the same. This statement attests Christ’s immutability. All of God’s attributes are vital. We stress His love, His kindness, His justice. But His immutability is just as important, though we do not always appreciate this. It is a most blessed thing that we can depend upon Christ’s always being the “same yesterday, and to day, and for ever” (ch. 13:8).

Eternity and immutability give the idea of solidarity, stability, permanence. They are an “anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast” (ch. 6:19). In these times of uncertainty it is well to have something sure to build on; it is well to have an anchor that will not drift.
