Notes:
Abraham and Sarah
Cast’s Narrative: Genesis chapters 11:26–25:7.
Personal Notes: Abraham was the son of Terah; husband of Sarah; and father of Isaac. Israel’s first great patriarch.
Act and Scene: 1921 B.C. Mesopotamia, Canaan, Egypt.
Plot: When he was 75 years of age Abram was approached by the Lord who initiated a covenant with him (Genesis 12:3). The Lord said that Abram would become a father of many nations and would inherit a land of promise. 25 years and 1500 miles later, and with an altogether new name meaning “father of many,” Abraham and Sarah had a son named Isaac (which literally means “laughter”).
Abraham’s relationship with the Lord is the first movement towards God’s plan of making for Himself a people. Abraham is also the father of our faith because he believed the Lord’s promise with a childlike heart and God considered him righteous on account of it. Although neither Abraham nor Sarah were flawless in their walk with God, they do teach us that faith is “the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1).
