Isaac, it says, “dug again the wells of water which they had dug in the days of his father Abraham”. And it says that “he called them by the names which his father had called them”. I told you in the last sermon that these wells of water of Abraham’s, that Isaac dug again, represent the spiritual water of life that is found by people today when they drink deeply of the Scriptures and the writings of the Reformers and Puritans on the doctrines of grace and the experience of that grace in our souls. They are the waters of revival that refresh and nourish the believer so that he can go on to do and to be all that God requires, and all that He expects him to be; one who lives his life bearing fruit to the glory of God.

The true Christian digs for the truth and finds it, but those who want the benefits of salvation to be theirs on their own terms will insist that the wells are theirs when they are not. So this morning I want to ask this question: How are Isaac and his servants different from the herdsmen of Gerar in the way that they obtain the wells of water? And we shall see that Isaac and his servants are different from the herdsmen of Gerar in the following significant ways.
