2024-11-17: Pastor Mark Quist – What, Who, Why, When, Where, of Covenant?
Broken promises… no fun being on the receiving end of the breaking. As broken and fallen human beings we experience different shades of less than full faithfulness, kindness, and goodness – of our own doing and undoing, and the doing and undoing of others. What is really discouraging is when we find out that the one doing the breaking is us. Where can we turn to find one who is all-together faithful, kind, and good? How can we get some of that?
In Scripture, God, our Creator, enters into a covenantal relationship with humanity and the world. Whether God’s covenants are unilateral/unconditional or bilateral/conditional, God remains fully and consistently faithful regardless of our less than fully faithful, rather unfaithful engagement.
David sings through the centuries (Psalm 103), “The Lord is gracious, compassionate, slow to anger, abounding in love.” The Hebrew word for this is hesed, ‘loving kindness.’ “Sins forgiven, life redeemed from the pit, satisfies my desires with good things… doesn’t treat me as my sins deserve… the Lord’s love is from everlasting to everlasting!”
Sunday we look at God’s covenantal love. Take a reading trip through Psalm 103 and write down all the benefits of God’s covenantal love. How can we come to understand it? Gotta get me some more of that! All of God’s covenant promises – both unilateral unconditional and bilateral conditional are fulfilled and found in Jesus – that’s how great and special he is. How can we come to understand it? Gotta get me all of Jesus.
