Fruitful: Faithfulness

Jesus modelled for us what it means to be faithful by giving Himself fully to the will of God. “My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of Him Who sent Me and to finish His work (John 4:34). Until the very end, Jesus remained committed to the task the Father had assigned for Him. The Apostle Paul reminds us of the importance of faithfulness in 2 Timothy 2:2, “And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others.” The faithful play a pivotal role as a link in the chain. It is through the faithfulness of God’s people that the baton of the gospel is passed on from one generation to the next.
