Episode 33: Go
from Eat This Book! Hosted by Michael Whitworth
Three verses. Seventy-two words in Hebrew. And yet everything turns here. God calls Abram to leave country, kindred, and father's house—every anchor, every safety net—and go to a land God will show him. No map. No destination named. Just: go. In exchange for everything Abram leaves, God offers seven promises: a great nation, blessing, a great name, being a blessing, protection, and through him all families of the earth blessed. The man with no children promised a nation. The man who leaves everything receiving more than everything. This is the hinge of the Bible. The call of Abram is the beginning of the gospel.
