4000 year promise

In our Global Perspectives class last week we talked about the Global Perspective in the Old Testament. Early in the book of Genesis, when God made his covenant with Abram it was a two-fold promise: (1) God would bless Abram and his descendents and (2) all of the people groups of the world were to be blessed by Abram's descendents. Two thousand years later Jesus reaffirmed that covenant and encouraged his disciples to get busy sharing this good news with the peoples of the world. Two thousand years after that, I am blogging about that covenant, because I am a product of that promise. I am a believer because someone with the Global Perspective brought the Good News to this continent and someone shared it with me. God is faithful to fulfill his promises. You can trust Him!
