Genesis 21:1-23:20
I heard a helpful comment this week-Abraham is working out who God is and what He is like. This seems true to me throughout the Old Testament, mankind is trying to figure out the character of God. It feels like we are still doing it to this day.
God was never going to amke Abraham kill his son-but was Abraham willing to do it if he needed? Am I willing to give it up for God-the thing which is most to me? Another character in the bible did loose everything-Job
There are similarities with the story of Jesus' crucifixion-can you find them?
Matthew 8:23-9:13
With Jesus in out boat (life) it doesn't matter what we face. We can just smile at the storm.
Jesus was able to forgive sins-he was and is God
What a good reminder that the message of God is to be told to those who are are 'ill'. We can't keep it inside the walls of the church, it needs to be shared with all
Psalm 7:10-17
God is my shield
