God promised in Genesis 17 that he would give to Abraham the land of Canaan as an everlasting possession, literally, “a possession forever.” And now Abraham purchases a property for a burial place, literally, “a possession for burying.”
I thought about titling this sermon “Life from the Dead, Part 3,” because quite frankly, that's what this is about.
Think about it: Abraham saw how God has brought life from Sarah's dead womb (ch 21) Abraham believed that God would raise up Isaac from the dead (ch 22) And now Abraham wants a place to bury his dead.
God has said that Abraham's seed will possess the whole land. And the first piece of land that Abraham possesses is a place for burial. Why is this important?
