17-18; 22:15-18.

families of the earth be blessed. ’
Gen. 12:3.

to Others.

n nieflHlnff to the World.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP
IC— Abraham, a Religious Pioneer.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
-—Abraham, a Religious Pioneer.
I. Abraham'* Ancestor* (Josh. 24.2,
14.
Abraham’s people were Idolaters.
Very likely as a young man, he himself
worshiped Idols. Tradition furnishes us
with some Interesting stories touching
his struggle against Idolatry. At any
rate, his experience was such as to well
qualify him to he the head of a people
whose God was the Lord, lie knew how
hopelessly disastrous Idolatry was to
the morals of the people, and, there
fore, would be able to lead them buck
to God.
11. Abraham’s Call (Gen.
cf. Acts 7:2-3).
God came to him In Ur of the Chal
dees and snld unto him:
1. "Get thee out of thy country."
One Is tied to Ids country with a
strong bond. Abraham had lived long
enough to have formed strong attach
ments to his country.
2. “Get thee out from thy kindred."
Abrnhnm was not only to leave be
hind him his native land, but Ills rela
tives us well, even his father’s house.
Since his kindred were idolaters, he
fjlliaf fanvc them Afatmham wo, ta
become n pilgrim, to be without a
home. Even In Cunnan, the only land
he ever owned, was a burial place. .
3. "Into the land that I will show
thee." He was not told what or where
the land was. lie went out not know
ing whither he went (Ileb. 11:8).
While he dwelt In tents during his
earthly sojourn, yet “he looked for a
city which hath foundations whose
builder and maker Is God" (Heb.
8:10). And thus he was a typical be
liever called out from his family and
country, and renouncing Idolatry, he
walked by faith, testifying to his und
succeeding generations to the faithful
ness of God. It costs to obey God, but
there Is an abundant recompense.
111. God’s Promise to Abraham
(Gen. 12:2-3; 18:17-18).
1. The Father of a Gront Posterity
(v. 2). Tills lias been literally fulfilled.
Ho was not to go out primarily for
what he could get, but for what he
could do. The minister and mission
ary forgot their own personal bless
ings In the supreme Joy of their con
verts who are the fruits of their labor.
No name In all history equals that of
Ahrahnra In Its honorable Influence.
His Is the name of honor nmong Jews,
Mohammedans and Christians. They
all acknowledge him us father.
2. A Illesslng to Others (vv. 2,3).
Ho was not only to become great and
to shnre God’s blessings, hilt to he a
blessing to others. He has become n
blessing to countless multitudes. This
Is the prevailing law of the spiritual
life—being Messed to he a Messing.
Those who respond to this law become
the very touchstone of God, so precious
that God will bless them who bless
them, and curse thoso who curse them.
God makes common causo with His
people. So vitally Is He one with
them that It Is it serious thing to mls
treut them. To maltreat God’s chil
dren Is to lift the hand against God.
No one who goes against Him can
prosper. Not only Is tills so with ref
erence to wilful acts ngniust Ills chil
dren, but neglect or refusal to do good
to them. Christ regards all acts for
or against them as for or against
Him.
IV. Qod Testing Abraham (Gen.
22:2-18).
Abraham's faith was shown In that
he obeyed the call of God and left his
land and kindred, but his faith
reached Its highest point In offering
nnac. For many years, he had waited
for the fulfillment of God's promise ns
to his heir. At Inst that promise was
n reality. Abraham's hope was not the
ordinary hope which fills the heart of
every father, that his name and work
may ho perpetuated through his son.
Anew nation and the world's Savior
were to spring up from Ahralmm
through this son. Through this great
ordeal, Ids faith responded enabling
him to believe that God would give
Isnnc buck from the dead (Hob.
11:17-10). God tries all Ills children.
The more important, the more severe
the trial.
