“

When will men learn that God is God, not man, and that He does not change? EVERY calamity, EVERY death, is a witness to the POWER OF EVIL and to the truth of the living God. The Word of God is life, and it will abide forever. Through all eternity it will stand fast. How can man, knowing what God is and what He has done, choose Satan's way instead of God's way? There is only one path to Paradise restored,—the path of obedience. -
Signs of the Times, January 25, 1910, par. 18

The Son of Abraham

My thoughts this morning centered upon Abraham who was a type of the Father and Isaac, who was a type of Christ and the sacrifice both the Father and Christ would make.
When Abraham was talking to God about an heir and suggested to God that his servant would be his heir, then God said no, this would not do because it does not demonstrate My sacrifice and who the Son is, Abraham one from your own body will be the Heir. If Christ was simply just another God, not coming out of the Father, then a servant would have been fine as an example but no this is not the truth, it must be a True Son, one born from Abraham himself that could only demonstrate the Truth, and it could not be one that was born to a bondwoman but of necessity one born Free.
You may have covered this already, in previous articles, just some thoughts
Be Blessed.
