Hasdê for All Generations

Psalm 89:1

I will sing of the steadfast love of the Lord , forever;

with my mouth I will make known your faithfulness toall generations.

Steadfast love is one word in Hebrew is Hasdê (kheh'-sed).It is often translated as loving kindness, mercy, goodness, great love, unfailinglove, or love. I asked Copilot to look it up and it came up with this:

It denotes morethan a simple emotional feeling; it represents an active commitment to kindnessand faithfulness that binds relationships, especially in the framework ofcovenants. In biblical usage, the term not only expresses natural benevolencebut also the kind of loyal, covenantal love that is expected between God andHis people, as well as among individuals. When God’s hesedis described, it speaks to His unwavering commitment and enduringcompassion—even when human conduct falls short of perfect duty.

This is the kind of love we celebrate every day, butespecially on Easter. God’s faithfulness is one manifestation of his  Hasdê. We are blessed to see this cometogether in Jesus Christ and His sacrifice for us as well as the Fatherchoosing us before the foundation of the earth. He keeps His promises. That’swhy it is up to us to be obedient to Him to declare this Hasdê in JesusChrist to all generations.

Happy Easter – He is Risen.
