Rev. Scott Adle, pastor of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church & School in Collinsville, IL joins Rev. Brady Finnern to study Genesis 25.
Abraham’s death was the end of an era, but the promise of a son did not end. We see how the LORD provided many sons for Abraham and Sarah, which leads to our Savior, but it did not mean that everything was perfect. The twins in Rebekah’s womb battled from the beginning which led to decisions that allowed their own desires to lead them instead of the Word of God. We are reminded of how we will allow our desires to be above the ways of the LORD, which never seems to end well, but as the LORD brought reconciliation for Jacob and Esau, in Christ, we have the hope of reconciliation with the Father and one another. “Lord God, Your promises continue throughout the generations. The promise of salvation and forgiveness extends to sinners like us, so we ask that You may continue to open our hearts in faith to trust in all of Your promises and live according to Your Word. In Christ, Amen”
