The Loyalty of Christ
According to W.E. Vine the word pistos (faith or faithful) is
used in the New Testament of one who is “to be trusted, reliable.”
It is an attribute that applies both to God and to man. It implies
loyalty; one who is worthy of trust. It is a quality to be admired
and desired. John Ruskin said of this quality, it is “The noblest
word in the catalogue of social virtues.” It is the one thing that
is demanded of a servant and a soldier. In Revelation 19 John saw
heaven opened and he saw Jesus. In his description of what he saw
John said, “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” (19:11). Jesus is the
Faithful and True! In this series of articles we want to discuss
the loyalty of Jesus to God, to God’s word and to His disciples.
God had entrusted to His Son a work to accom-plish. God sent His
Son with a specific work to be done. Jesus explained that He was
sent by His Father. “Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father,
you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor
have I come of Myself, but He sent Me” (Jn. 8:42). That work is
spoken of again and again in the gospel of John. “For God did not
send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the
world through Him might be saved” (Jn. 3:17). “I must work the
works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when
no one can work” (Jn. 9:4). The work Jesus was given to do was one
of re-demption. “But when the fullness of the time had come, God
sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 5 to
redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the
adoption as sons” (Gal. 4:4, 5). Paul spoke of this work in his
letter to Titus 2:14 – “who gave Himself for us, that He might
redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own
special people, zealous for good works.” “The idea of redemption in
the Old Testament takes its start from the thought of property.
From this start the word "redemption" throughout the Old Testament
is used in the general sense of deliverance. God is the Re-deemer
of Israel in the sense that He is the Deliverer of Israel. In the
New Testament the idea of redemption has more a suggestion of
ransom. Men are held under the curse of the law (Ga 3:13), or of
sin itself (Ro 7:23 f). The Redeemer purchases their deliverance by
offering Himself as payment for their redemption” (ISBE). In the
gospel of Mark Jesus acknowledged that this was His work. In
re-buking James and John who were arguing over who would have the
ideal seats in the kingdom, Jesus said, “For even the Son of Man
did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a
ransom for many” (Mk. 10:45). To ransom means “to deliver a thing
or person by paying the price for which it is held captive.”
