 MY TWO SONS
GENESIS 21:1-14

Today, before launching into Genesis 21, we will be reviewing and building upon our closing comments from our last study in Genesis 20.  It was there that we studied Abraham being a type of Christ and Sarah being a type for the church.  In 20:16, Abimelech emphasizes that Abraham was Sarah's brother.  The statement comes, most likely, in the form of a sarcastic rebuke due to Abraham and Sarah's deception (cf 20:12).  Though meant as a rebuke, the significance of this type/reference to those in Christ, the church, is significant.  To Christians, if Christ is our brother, then we are together with Him, sons.  The New Testament identifies us as "adopted sons."

The message today will explore the sonship of Christ and the significance of that reality to we who are in Christ.

May this sermon be a strengthening encouragement to you as you seek to serve our Lord, our Master, our brother (Hebrews 2:11-17, Romans 8:29).
