He has helped
his servant Israel,
remembering to be merciful
55 to Abraham
and his descendants forever,
just as he promised our ancestors.” –Luke
1:54-55 (NIV2011)
How
long do God’s promises last?
What
happens if God’s people are unfaithful?
Over
and over again, God’s people are unfaithful to the covenant, to their own
promises to God, and to the steadfast love that keeps offering them mercy...and
a fresh start.
How
long should God keep this up?
How
long should God forgive us—you and me?
God
remains faithful to his promises even when we don’t. Is that good?
