Can You Change God's Mind? | Genesis 18 & Divine Providence

Abraham serves a meal to his Creator and then stands to argue for the lives of the wicked in Sodom.Genesis 18 captures a staggering encounter between the LORD and a human traveler. This visit near the oaks of Mamre forces us to confront a God who is both the Judge of all the earth and the one who draws near to his people. From Sarah’s unbelieving laughter to Abraham’s bold intercession, the text demands an answer to one question: Is anything too hard for the LORD? We examine the mechanics of divine Providence and why Abraham’s prayer was merely a shadow of the coming Christ. Jesus is the perfect Intercessor who did not just plead for the guilty but bore the fiery judgment of God to secure an eternal Salvation.
