Abraham, Sarah and Isaac
Abraham's Visitors Genesis 17:1-8, Genesis 18:1-8
· When Abram was 99 years old, God changed his name to Abraham.
· His new name showed that he belonged to God. Not long after three men came by Abraham's tent, and he invited them to lunch.
· "Quick Bake some bread," Abraham told his wife. Then Abraham hurried to get some meat cooked.
· When the food was ready. Abraham brought it to his visitors. The men sat down to eat.
· In addition, Abraham didn't know it but his visitors were from heaven.
Sarah Laughs Genesis 18:9-16
· When one of the visitors finished eating he said, "Where is your wife, Sarah?" "She's over there in the tent," Abraham said, "Next year Sarah will have a baby," the visitor said.
· Sarah heard and laughed. She couldn't believe it. Sarah was too old to have a baby, she thought. Also Abraham was too old too.
· In addition, Sarah was that old. Let's see how God keeps His promises.
Baby Isaac Genesis 21:1-7
· In about a year Sarah had a baby boy just like God has promised.
· Abraham named the baby Isaac. Isaac means laughter.
· Sarah was so happy with baby boy. She said God has made me laugh.
· Everyone who hears about this will laugh with me.
· God can do anything however, sometimes it takes a while to see the answer.
