Since the beginning of the new school year in September 2015, Rev Foster has been asked to speak at two morning assembly meetings each week. His theme for 2015-16 is DV, "Pictures of Christ in the Bible." Sixth Picture of Christ Isaac and Rebekah, Genesis 24. * The wonderful errand Abraham gave to his servant is illustrative of the outworking of God the Father's purpose in obtaining a people, a bride, for His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. * The servant and his manner of obeying Abraham's command is a picture of the gospel preacher at work. * Rebekah, of course, pictures for us the bride which through the preaching of the gospel is obtained for Christ. Abraham's desire for a bride for Isaac. It is interesting that God should record this simply family event but record nothing of the kingdoms of the world at that time! The affairs of God's people are that which is of real importance. This marriage would impact tremendously upon the world for all eternity.
