His name is Faithful and True

Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. – Revelation 19v11

We get a glimpse into heaven here where Jesus has mounted a great white horse for His long awaited triumphal return to earth. Before that return we read a description of His based on a few names or titles. The first of this mentioned is the name ‘Faithful and True.’

No matter how hard we try or how good our intentions we are all going to fail in faithfulness at some time or another because we are not always in total control of every situation and all the circumstances. Try as we might sometimes we all let people down.

There is only One that we can always count on, no matter what. Jesus is called Faithful and True because that is part of His very essence. He is always able to carry out what He says first of all because He is incapable of lying. He can’t make a false promise. Secondly, He can carry it out because He is all powerful – no circumstances or situations can keep Him from doing what He says He will do.

Praise God for the One, and only One, who is truly Faithful and True.
