Genesis Lesson 56: The Pilgrimage Ended {The Importance of Finishing Well}

Genesis 25:1-18

With Genesis chapter 25, we come to the last chapter of the life of the great patriarch of the faith, Abraham.  For more than a century, he had been on a pilgrimage of faith with the Lord God in the Promised Land of Canaan.  It was wonderful to learn how Abram (his original name) stepped out of Ur of the Chaldees to being his spiritual journey with God, but it is even more impressive to find that, more than a century later, he was still going strong for and with the Lord!  It is one thing to begin well with God, but it is even a better thing to finish well.  

In this lesson, "The Pilgrimage Ended," we discuss the deaths of both Abraham (25:1-11) and Ishmael (25:12-18).
