Jesus - Faithful and True !

Jesus has many names. But was reminded today that the apostle John, in choosing the adjectives to describe Jesus on his return, went with "Faithful and True".

"I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True." (Rev 19:11)

So, so comforting to know… !

"Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies." (Psalm 36:5)

"Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you!" (Isaiah 49:15)

"For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations." (Psalm 100:5)

"Faithful is he that calls you, who also will do it." (1 Thess 5:24)

"God is not man, that he should lie,
or a son of man, that he should change his mind.
Has he said, and will he not do it?
Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?" (Numbers 23:19)

It reminded me of an old song "My Redeemer is Faithful and True". Here is Steven Curtis Chapman - the composer - singing it. He wrote it as a young man, and now is more elderly, but says in this clip that if he has breath left and were to sing a song, this is the one he would sing. Hearing him sing it gave me the goosebumps!!
