Deuteronomy 30:20 that you may love the LORD your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.”
Acts 3:13 The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified His Servant Jesus, whom you delivered up and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let Him go.
Matthew 8:11 And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.
Did you ever realize the special relationship we have with three men who are named throughout the Bible? Again and again these three related men (Grandfather, Son and Grandson) are given as an example of God's commitment to us. God demonsterated for all generations through His promises made to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob that one day they and their descendants would inherit a promised land of plenty. This was fulfilled in earthly terms when the Jordan was crossed and the descendants of Abraham reached the promised land of Israel. It's especially wonderful that the promise made to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob has now been extended to you and I. Even though men like us delivered up Jesus to Pilate to be crucified, God held onto His promise made to those three patriarchs so that one day in Heaven many of us will come from around the globe and actually sit down with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the eternal promised land. What God proved faithful to do for three generations He will complete for all generations!
blessings!
