Genesis 24:1-67 God Provides a Wife (Part 1) (April 27, 2025 AM, Rev. Michael Grasso)

In Genesis 24:1-67 Abraham sends his servant out to find a wife for Isaac. He is not to look for a wife for Isaac from Canaan but from Abraham's family. This story is significant in the overall narrative of Genesis because Genesis as a whole focuses on a particular lineage which ultimately culminates in the Messiah. In order for this lineage to continue, Isaac needs a wife. The servant runs into Rebekah at a well, beginning a theme that we see a number of times in the OT, ultimately culminating in Christ himself meeting the Samaritan woman at the well in John 4.
