”…and all the nations of the earth will be blessed through him…”

Scripture:

For Abraham will certainly become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the world will be blessed through him.” – Genesis 18:18

Observation:

Abraham was an old man who received a promise from God that he would have a son late in life. Abraham tried to fulfill the promise in his power instead of the work of God. He sired Ishmael who would become the father of many peoples that would trouble everyone around them. God told Abraham that his wife would bare him a son late in life miraculously! It would be through this son of the Promise that the nations of the world would be saved!

Application:

How is/has the world been blessed through the descendant or seed of Abraham? It would be through the Son of David, the Messiah! The coming Messiah would be the one to deliver humanity from its fallen state. Yeshua would have to come to the earth, born of a woman, live sinlessly, be sacrificed, and be resurrected to pave the way for the lost to be found and the spiritually dead to be reborn of the Spirit! The opening of Matthew shows us the lineage of Yeshua and how he descended from Abraham and is the rightful heir to the throne of David to be both Son of Man but also Son of God! In him we live, move, and have our being! There is none other under heaven by which we can be saved! He is Yeshua! There is no other!

Prayer:

Father, Yahovah, thank you for sending Yeshua as the Seed of Abraham to die for us and save us from death and eternal suffering and separation from You! We are truly blessed among those of the nations who have been called and chosen by You to be members of your family. Where I once was lost, I am no found. Where I was once blind, now I see! It’s the truest blessing that can only be because of you! Thank you! I love you! Amen.
