Advent 2015 December 3 - Faithful
Advent should make us look deeper into the wholeness of the
being of God. We often say the nature of
God, but that seems like an oxymoron. We often say his character but that
emphasizes the human-likeness, and there are only limited ways that we can
compare our character to God’s.
Advent speaks to the faithfulness of God. Faithfulness to the prophesies in particular
and to the promises in general. Faithfulness also personally.
Faithfulness of God is mentioned hundreds of times in the
Bible. It is a part of his wholeness of
being that we cannot compare to the faithfulness of man, which is more likely
the fickleness of man. An entirely
faithful being is rather outside our imaginations.
