“Rest in Piece”
Choices in this life may indicate what we believe about the next.
Genesis 22:20-23:20
introduction
Illus. of “Flower Mix-up” Resting in eternal peace is something that everyone wants to do, but few make the decisions in this life that make that peace possible.
Abraham makes some choices in this passage that indicate that he is preparing for, not only the next life, but the next generation of his descendants that would follow him in this life.
He wants them to be at p-i-e-c-e while he rests in p-e-a-c-e.
Let me show you what I mean.
OPEN to passage.
*Prop.
*In this passage, we see how important preparing to die is.
Open in PRAYER.
PREVIEW the passage.
Abraham and Isaac’s faith has been confirmed and now it’s time to begin to transition to the next generation.
We see that in…
i.
the passing of a promise vs. 22:20-24
Illus. of Henrietta Mears said, “God buries His workmen, but not His work.”
In this seemingly insignificant paragraph, we see where God is preparing for His work to continue through Abraham’s descendants and He makes sure that Abraham is part of the process.
It starts with…
a. a family update
Illus. of we send these out at Christmas.
Abraham hears some news here.
V 20- 1.
News has come from the east that Abraham’s brother has had some sons.
Abraham has some nephews; eight
22 by his wife Milcah and 4 more from a concubine named Reumah in verse 24.
They’re all listed here.
V 23 2.
The important point here is not the number of sons, but the daughter of the youngest son, Bethuel.
We all know that Rebekah would become the wife of Isaac.
b. why here?
1.
Many question why this information is here and not before chapter 24 where we see the Abraham looking for a bride for Isaac.
2.
To place it at the end of chapter 22 ties it in with the burial of Sarah.
In burying Sarah in the promised land, Abraham is turning his pack on his homeland and claiming this land as his new home, even though he has yet to own one square inch of it.
He is ignoring his ancestry.
Generally, sojourners were taken to their homeland for burial.
