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. Rebekah begins the journey to meet her future husband. Genesis 24:33-67. * Notice the urgency with which the servant treated the matter. Verses 33, 54-58. He would not allow anything to interfere in the progress of his master's business, not even his own physical needs! * A definite response is required from Rebekah. "And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go," Genesis 24:58. Here is a very public yielding to the invitation and surrendering of her life. She was saying "I am ready to leave my home and follow you to Isaac and be his wife." This is what is entailed in receiving Christ as our Saviour. * Notice Isaac was watching for his servant's return with his bride. Verse 63-65. In this he was like the Prodigal's father, watching for his return. * Notice too, that Rebekah did not know Isaac. "For she had said unto the servant, What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant had said, It is my master: therefore she took a vail, and covered herself," Genesis 24:65. Even so it is with us. We "Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory," 1 Peter 1:8. We shall see Him as He comes to meet us. "Then we . . . shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord," 1 Thess 4:17.
