Advent Calendar - Day 2 - God’s Covenant With Abraham
His promise to one man became hope for all nations
Instructions for Reflection Application:
Thank God that His plan of blessing includes people from every nation, including you. Pray for one person or one nation that needs to know Christ’s blessing. Look for one concrete way to bless someone today in Jesus’ name.
Brief Summary:
God’s covenant with Abraham reveals the heart of Christmas long before Bethlehem. In Genesis 12:3, God promises that through Abraham’s seed all the families of the earth will be blessed, a prophecy ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ. Christmas is the story of God extending His blessing to every nation, every people, and every individual who receives Christ. You are part of that global promise, called to carry His blessing into the world.
Wonderful reminder that although the Jews are the chosen people of God via His promise to Abraham, that God also foreshadowed that all nations would be blessed by the promise He made to Abraham. This blessing to all nations is Jesus the Messiah.
I pray for Christians in Nigeria who are being slaughtered 😔 and I pray for all of Africa that all nations will be blessed Amen 🙏
