Abraham's Two Families

Abraham’s Two Families
ROMANS 9.6-13

When you walk or drive through unfamiliar territory, you have to rely on the map. It is the bottom line. If you find yourself somewhere you didn’t expect, you scratch your head, get out the map again, and figure out where you went wrong. You mistook that turning for this one . . . so you took the road that went over there instead of over here . . . so no wonder you’ve landed up on the wrong side of the river. You’ll have to go back and start again from the place where you made the mistake. It is of course possible in theory that the map might be wrong. Map-makers are fallible human beings like the rest of us. But if that’s so, then you really are lost. There’s nothing you can trust...
