A light bulb went off in my head today while I was reading Genesis 26:4.
"...and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed."
This is not the first place where God says this, first to Abraham and then to Isaac.
I pondered the meaning. This morning I the realization that offspring did not mean every single one of Abraham's descendants. Rather, offspring is referring to an individual. An individual who did not come to earth as a human for several thousand is the offspring to whom God was referring. Jesus. A direct descendant to Abraham and Isaac.
Through Jesus ALL nations are being blessed!
I am working on my Progress of Redemption class. It is so amazing seeing little things that God did all for the redemption of His people.
I just have to wonder, why did He choose Abraham?
(If I have misinterpreted this, missed something, etc. please give your thoughts!)
