Divine fidelity

God had just freed Israel from Egypt. However, in the wilderness, they decided to make golden calf to be their deity, forgetting the God who saved them(Ps105). In spite of his anger, God remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. God showed them his mercy; he is faithful from age to age.

In the Gospel, the Jewish people failed to see in Jesus, the one whom the Scriptures point at. Jesus is, of course, the new "siloam," meaning sent by God to heal and to restore us. He is the final revelation of God’s divine fidelity to the world. How often do we forget God in our lives in spite of his faithful love for us?

Jesus, I trust in you
