Now the Lord said to Abram, "Go from
your country and your kindred and your father's
house to the land that I will show you. And
I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless
you and make your name great, so that you will be a
blessing, I will bless those who bless you, and him
who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the
families of the earth shall be blessed.
The notes of my Lutheran Study Bible say the following about these verses: Not merely a promise of temporal blessings, but the promise of the Gospel that, in Christ Jesus--Abraham's Seed--people of all nations and times will have the eternal blessing of God's forgiveness. There is no greater blessing than that "in Christ God was reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them."
In 2010, I posted a picture of our life, every day. This year, in 2011, I'm posting a Bible Verse from my daily Bible reading. Next year? Who knows. One day at a time, 365 days a year. That's the beauty of this blog.
