Heirs of All

And Abraham gave all he had to Isaac.” Genesis 25:5
Pictures in the Bible are important. I am not talking about color glossy pictures stuck at random throughout some Bibles; I am talking about pictures of people representing something beyond themselves. Joseph is a type, or picture of Christ, and so is Isaac, both in different ways but clearly revealing a great spiritual truth about our Savior. In today’s passage Abraham is a picture of God the Father.
In this picture we are the sons of promise, heirs with Jesus Christ of all that the Father has to bestow. There is nothing that God has withheld from the children of promise. All the promises of God in Christ are yea and amen. He has given us the abundant riches of His grace. He has called us His beloved. He has given us the inheritance of eternal life. To all men He gave gifts, but to His son he gave everything He had. Let us rejoice in being God’s heirs in Christ.

Dear Father, Help us see each day what it means to be Your heir now and forever. Amen.
