Who hasn’t been disappointed by a broken promise? We may even be the culprit who fell back on a pledge, who did not follow through with a commitment.
A business owner who has no respect for his client’s time will keep them waiting long past the scheduled appointment. His word is not dependable, and he soon earns a reputation which reflects this behavior.
The scripture lesson in Matthew 28:1-10 is all about promises, Jesus’ promise to his disciples and to us. Jesus promised to return, to rise on the third day. Jesus keeps his promises whether I believe it or not. When He says, “I will…” we can count on it to be so.
Jesus met the women Mary, and the other Mary, as they left the tomb, and instructed them to tell the disciples to meet Him in Galilee. He promised He would be there. They could depend on it, as unreasonable as it was to think Jesus, who just died, would meet up with them in Galilee, He promised, and he is in the business of fulfilling promises.
This is still true today. We read in Scripture Jesus is with us, He loves us, He forgives us and his death brings us salvation. These are promises we can take to the bank. Praise God!
