Genesis is all about beginnings for the people God chose. You with God who created everything including Adam and Eve. God’s promise to create a great nation is woven through out the story. Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob all share in God’s blessing as their families grow and multiply. I think that I was most intrigued with the story of Abraham sacrificing Isaac. I feel the weight of what God has done by sending Jesus to die for me when I look at Abraham and Isaac. I should have died a sinners death but God stayed the blade meant for me and plunged it into Jesus. I am so unworthy on my own but I can stand secure in God’s grace because of Christ.

A promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: Genesis Summary
Perspective on preservation in Genesis 49 and 50
I think it is amazing how complex the stories of the Bible seem from my limited human perspective. God preserved Jacob’s family yet they find themselves in slavery. I think many times how God works is so completely contrary to our way of doing things. As Joseph said that God allowed what happened so that many may be preserved. I think it is interesting how if the story were to end at the end of Genesis that it would be such a sad story but Exodus is coming.
