Gospel Thread - NT:
"Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad."
John 8:56 (NIV)
Abraham knew that God's Promise to him would be completed and perfected in a coming Messiah. That Abraham "saw" Jesus' day means, in part, that Abraham had faith in that Messiah - evidenced by his gladness. Indeed, Jesus is that Messiah - the fulfillment of God's Promise and the perfection of His Law; the means of our redemption and the source of our salvation.
Gospel Thread - Psalms/Proverbs:
Even in darkness light dawns for the upright, for the gracious and compassionate and righteous man.
Psalm 112:4 (NIV)
