What about Us

Continued from last blog:                                A Bible Study

 The Lord God finally picked Abraham to be the leader of His people, because he was the most righteous of the people. Now the Lord God said to Abraham I am going to make you the father of My nation. Abraham was over 90 years old and His wife Sarah was also very old. Abraham and Sarah could not believe this was possible, but so be it they had a son and he was called Issaic. The Lord God asked Abraham to kill his son Issaic as a sacrifice. Abraham reluctantly was going to do just that and the Lord God stopped him as he was about to kill his son.
God's people continued to disobey the Lord God, and wound up in slavery for many years making bricks for their masters.
Moses who had been saved as a little baby by one of the kings daughters. He grew up in the household of the king with all the rights of the king's family. The Lord God spoke to Moses when he was grown up and asked him to deliver His people from their slavery and take them to the Promised Land to begin their own country. They wondered for 40 years in the deserts in order to get there. They again strayed from the Lord God in the wilderness and made a golden calf and began to worship it. The Lord God was very angry and destroyed the golden calf and called Moses up on the mountain and gave him the Ten Commandments for the people to follow.

Finally after 40 years they reached the Promised Land and they still continued to turn away from the Lord, until they would get a new leader that would bring them back to the Lord. There were many prophets and kings that led and taught the people.

David at the age of 12 was picked by The Lord God to be a King of His people. David was a good friend of King Saul's son Jonathan. When Saul was picking his successor Jonathan prefered David over himself to be the next king. When David was king, He too failed the Lord God and had a child with another married woman. But still through all of his failures, David remained as God's favorite king.

Then finally the Lord God decided to fulfill His plan to come to the people Himself to teach His people and make a final sacrifice! He would come as a baby, and would be known as the Son of God. He would be called Wonderful; Counsellor; The Mighty God; and The Prince of Peace.
