God's Wooing Love

<p>Airs August 11, 2021</p> <p> </p> <p>The story of Rebekah is a kind of idyll, setting forth the whole idea in her romantic wooing and wedding. Abraham sent his trusted servant to bring a bride for Isaac. Old Eliezer faithfully discharged that trust—finding, wooing, and then bringing home the beautiful Rebekah. He presented her to the arms of Isaac who waited for her in the eventide. So the Holy Spirit has been sent by the Father to call from this sinful world a Bride for His beloved Son. Having called her, the Spirit will bring her home, educate her, robe her and gradually prepare her for her glorious meeting with her Lord, in that sublime event which is to be the consummation of the age—the Marriage of the Lamb.</p> <p>Now, the Holy Spirit is represented in this passage as loving us to jealousy, and holding us sacredly to our blessed Bridegroom and Lord. </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Listen to Abiding in Christ Ministries with radio host Lesha Cantrell Monday through Friday at 6:45am (MT) on AM670, KLTT in Colorado; online at 670kltt.com; or via your mobile device on the free KLTT app. May God richly bless you as you abide in Christ!</p> <p> </p>
