Seeking a Bride for the Son
from Flood on SermonAudio Hosted by Jay Smith
Genesis 24 is the longest chapter in the book and contains the beautiful story of Abraham's servant seeking a wife for Isaac. The hand of God in providentially arranging circumstances is obvious and we are drawn to the servant's faith and fervent prayer to complete his commission from Abraham. In addition, there are some interesting similarities to the Holy Spirit's role in drawing sinners to Christ - seeking a bride for the Son - as well as some important differences. The Spirit brings gifts and highlights the worth of the Son just as Abraham's servant did when speaking to Rebekah to draw her heart to Isaac. A key distinction is that the servant was looking for a woman of noble character who was suitable for marriage, but the Holy Spirit draws unworthy sinners to God's Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, and then transforms them into His eternal Bride.
