from The School of Bethlehem by St George Preca
Dearly beloved, let us learn from our divine Master about
The Fidelity of God
Jesus Christ, the promised Messiah, whom the Patriarchs, Prophets and many kings wished to see, by His coming amongst all people, showed that God faithfully fulfilled what he had promised, that is, the saving from eternal perdition, all humanity, by means of the Redeemer, God’s Divine Son made Man. “And you, Bethlehem, in the Land of Judah, are by no means the least among the rulers of Judah; for from you shall come a ruler who is to shepherd my people Israel”. [Matthew 2:6]. Thus, was foretold by the Prophet Micah and his prophecy was fulfilled.
Relative sentences taken from Our Lord Jesus Christ and St Paul:
- I have much to say about you and much to condemn; but the one who sent me is true and I declare to the world what I have heard from him. [John 8:26]
- If we are faithless, he remains faithful – for he cannot deny himself. [2 Timothy 2:13]
- No testing has overtaken you that is not common to everyone. God is faithful and he will not let you be tested beyond your strength. [2 Cor. 10:13]
Resolution:
We resolve, that if we want to be God’s friends, we must be faithful to God, who can never deceive nor be deceived.
