When making promises there are two primary things that ought to be considered: power and wisdom. As God’s creation we are limited in both power and wisdom and as Christians ought to consider our limited nature before making promises. However, we worship a God who has all power and wisdom. Therefore we ought to have full assurance that when God makes a promise He has all the power and wisdom to fulfill it. During this Advent season we reflect on the promises God made to send a Savior for His people and how He fulfilled his promise through the birth, life, death and resurrection of his only begotten Son, Jesus Christ.
