The Master‘s Class, LifeChange Church Wichita
Religion & Spirituality:Christianity
In our message today, we are going to cover the details of Abraham’s servant returning to Abraham’s people to find a bride for Isaac. Chapter 24 is the longest chapter in the Book of Genesis, and every detail of this beautiful love story, speaks of Christ and His bride, the Church. This should not be surprising because Paul tells us in Ephesians that marriage is intended to mirror the relationship of Christ and the Church.
We will see Rebekah, a type, or a picture, of the church as the bride of Isaac, being brought into the very tent of Sarah. The whole chapter, while interesting and full of local tradition and culture of the time, is at the same time a full-length study of the way in which the Father’s beloved Son obtained His bride, the church.
Woven into the fabric of this beautiful human story are the threads of an even greater story. We see the coming of the Holy Spirit into the world with a great mission to win and woo the hearts of the lost to the heart of the Beloved Son of God. Only rarely does He speak of Himself. His great mission is to praise the Son and to tell of the love of the Father and His grace and mercy. His great task is to seek out those that will become the Bride of Christ.
Click on the link below to hear a message on how the Holy Spirit takes advantage of life’s ordinary circumstances using them to accomplish His task. He never forces, never violates the human will, never overwhelms, never uses weird and uncanny means to conquer the soul. Ordinary things happen; a visit here, a chance meeting there, an unexpected conversation, a book passed by a friend—and all the time the Holy Spirit is at work. Until, at last, the gospel is presented, and the hour of decision comes. It was the servant’s way with Rebekah; it is the Spirit’s way with a lost soul.
