Acts 13:26-33

“Brothers, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, to us has been sent the message of this salvation. For those who live in Jerusalem and their rulers, because they did not recognize him nor understand the utterances of the prophets, which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him. And though they found in him no guilt worthy of death, they asked Pilate to have him executed. And when they had carried out all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb. But God raised him from the dead, and for many days he appeared to those who had come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses to the people. And we bring you the good news that what God promised to the fathers, this he has fulfilled to us their children by raising Jesus, as also it is written in the second Psalm,

“‘You are my Son,
today I have begotten you.’ (ESV)

by Patrick London

How many times in our lives do we make promises to God? Do we follow through with them? Can you count the number of times you have kept your promises to God or to a friend who was depending upon you to come through?

God fulfilled his promise by sending Jesus to redeem us. What more do you need to convince you that there is someone out there who cares for you?
