So Pastor's talking this morning about how long Sarah and Abraham waited for that baby. Twenty-five years. Along the way, they had options for God. But those weren't what God had promised. They had to wait.
Then Rebekah, their daughter-in-law, had to wait. So Abraham didn't see his grandson until 85 years after God told him he would be the father of a great nation.
And then Rachel didn't conceive very quickly either.
What I'd never noticed before was Leah's side of the family. In the line of promise, Judah's daughter-in-law Tamar was waiting around for a good long time before she conceived too.
The angel told Joseph to name the baby JESUS "for He shall save His people from their sins."
