Advent Midweek 1 (Stars of God)

Sermon Text: Genesis 22:16-18 God promised Abraham descendants as numerous as the stars, land, and blessing to all nations through his offspring. Then God told Abraham to sacrifice his son. How could God's promises ring true if Abraham's heir is dead? Well, Abraham realized there must be something greater than his son to receive the promises of God, and that would be the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Jesus shines as a greater star than Isaac as a descendant of Abraham. Christ is like the sun, drowning out the light of all other shining stars with his brilliance. His light is the life of all men, an eternal life through resurrection. In a manner of speaking, Isaac was brought back from death by Christ dying in Isaac's place on the cross, and all of us are likewise saved with Jesus dying for us. And in the light of Christ, we can shine as stars--the numerous descendants of Abraham by faith--by being the light of Christ in the world and acting like him.
