Giving your wife away S1e70 Gen12:10
Manage episode 426916851 series 2851897
Welcome to the strange, perhaps morally ambiguous story of the Father of Faith, the "Exhalted Father with no current children", of Abram. He gives his wife, "tell 'em you're my sister" Sarai into the hands of the Egyptian Court. She is apparently so beautiful, that only a Pharaoh qualifies to consider as a wife partner. The only problem is: she is already married.
I think Abram fails to trust the Lord here. YET, God redeems this situation and gives grace. I think Abram gets more than he deserves: he gets grace in this situation.
bewithme.us. I'd love for you to be able to come back tomorrow for more tales of this great God.
