— 1 min read

The conversation about Abraham continues and deepens. Jim highlights passages of events in the life of Abraham in his friendship with God. We are beginning to see Abraham’s relationship with God as a friendship seeing God’s love for his friend, his open conversations with him, the intimacy of those encounters Abraham and God shared, the mutual mission of blessing humanity coming to fruition in Isaac and the friendship of God walking alongside his friend Abraham.
