Through Your Descendants

February 2nd, 2013 · No Comments

Genesis 22:18 (New Living Translation)

And through your descendants all the nations of the earth will be blessed—all because you have obeyed me.”

There is much in this little sentence. The LORD is addressing Abraham and telling him of what is to come of his descendants. A few notes – Abraham’s family:

  • is the vehicle of the LORD’s blessings
  • carries the message from the LORD
  • yields the Savior of all man

The LORD could have chosen another person, another family to bring these things to man. He chose Abraham because Abraham showed greater obedience to the LORD.
