3.A Source of Blessings

	Sermon Summary (January 17, 2010)

A Source of Blessings
(Genesis 12:1-4)


God gave blessings.
Because He made His exclusive happiness known to all things
and placed also on earth
the source of blessings, which abides in heaven,
Abraham is, namely, a source of blessings (Gal 3:7-8).
Since Abraham obeyed God's commands
and became His friend (Jas 2:23),
God's blessings come from Abraham alone
and that which comes from him alone is eternal (Ge 22:17).
The source of blessings, which comes from God,
is Jesus Christ (Eph 2:5).
Because He caused him to be manifested in Abraham,
this blessing is life everlasting (Gal 3:9),
the promise that has resurrection.
The Holy Spirit testifies to it and declares it.
-The Holy Spirit comes through Jesus Christ.

¡Û Just as a spring wells out from a specific place,
the blessing that welled out from Abraham is Jesus Christ.

¡Û Jesus Christ does not come from anywhere, anytime,
but solely from Abraham's roots.

¡Û Let us welcome Jesus Christ,
who came out from Abraham.
Salvation comes soely from Jesus.

¡Ø Let us know the source of blessings.
To acknowledge it is life.
What He gives from heaven is blessings.
