Introduction
We in the west, and likely all people everywhere, have a fondness for love stories. They are some of our best-known and most cherished works; from Shakespeare to Jane Austin, they mark out some of our best literature. But love is not just for high-literature, it is the stuff of comedy and dime-store novels. We have a love story in our text today; not first and foremost of Rebekah and Isaac, although present, but of God and his people. His faithfulness lasts from generation to generation, as we see today.
1. We see God’s faithfulness in Abraham’s growth
2. We see God’s faithfulness in the servant’s reliance
3. We see God’s faithfulness in Rebekah’s importance
