While it was my intent to finish Chapter 21 in today's sermon, I felt it necessary to go back and address in greater detail the gist behind Sarah's statement, "Cast out this slave woman - with her son." Does her statement and the Lord's affirmation of her reveal something deeper concerning the relationship between her and Abraham, between a wife and her husband in the bond of marriage?
In addition, I was compelled to address further Abraham's obedience to the Lord in casting out Ishmael. To obey the Lord in this matter without being displeased (v. 12) required a strength and trust beyond himself. So also in our obedience to the Lord a strength beyond ourselves is required. We will see today that the person of Christ, and how being united with Him, empowers us.
