Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.
Have you ever been betrayed? Perhaps by someone you loved and trusted a great deal? If it has
ever happened to you, you will never forget it. It happens far too often. A company tells an
employee "we will always take good care of you" and then that employee is laid off. One spouse
says to another, "I will stay with you till death do us part" and then leaves with someone else. A
politician is elected and says, "I will never vote to raise taxes" and then co-sponsors a bill for
"revenue enhancement". Life is sometimes littered with broken promises.
But God is different. God keeps promises, and that is something to be thankful for. And Jesus
Christ is the greatest example of God's faithfulness. "For God so loved the world that he gave his
only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life," (John
3:16).
(Titus 1:4
NRSV)
Notice what Moses says about God in Deuteronomy 7:9, "God is faithful to keep his covenant of
love to a thousand generations."
Loving God, help me to be a promise keeper and faithful in sharing your Son Jesus Christ. Amen.
