Surprise for the nations?Rehabs Children, Ruth's children and even, Lot's wife's children.
Jesus ready stands to save us, full of glory, grace and power.God's intention was to give His Son to draw us in. No other paternal sacrifice will do. No other maternal sacrifice will do. None of us deserves what Jesus did for us.
We open that box on Christmas day. We bend our knee to Christ and we are not Abraham's direct seed. We have no right, except in Christ, to open such a splendid gift.
Why Abraham, we cry, why not me? Rejoice, it is for you, pagan. Jericho, Egypt, Moab, all nations, He came to crush the serpent and not you. He came to crush our sins and snatch their dominions.All kinds of mothers can see their tears cried in cleansing of the nations, when wed with the will of God! All kinds of knees can be taught to kneel at the foot of the cross.
No other gift outshines that gift for us all.Now, often Abrahams children wonder rightly: Is this gift for us, as well? So many pagans have owned Christ that we cannot tell if we are welcome to the feast? Can we still enter in?
Surprise!God's Eternal Gift is for Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel and Leah's children, as well as we. Redemption for children of mothers of the Old Covenant and the New are welcome. Gentile knees bow and Jewish knees bow to the Lordship of Jesus.
Unto us, Unto all of us a Son is given!His sacrifice alone is heard in Heaven for our redemption.
Surprise! Our sins are paid for! We are saved, by grace through faith!Halleluia, What a Savior!
