Recap of August 3, 2008:

1. Two key questions dominate Genesis 18:
-“Is anything too hard for the LORD?” (18:14)
-“Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?” (18:25)
2. Abraham receives three visitors: The Lord (a Christophany: a pre-incarnation appearance of Jesus Christ), and two angels.
3. Verses 1-8 illustrate the life of intimate fellowship with Jesus. Jesus made Himself at home with His friend Abraham (James 2:23). He ate with him, He revealed future plans with Him.
4. As believers, we are to have that same intimate fellowship with Jesus Christ. Paul prays for believers that Christ may be completely at home in our hearts.
5. Author Robert Boyd Munger raises the question “Is Christ at home in every part of our lives hearts)? (Article: “My Heart Christ’s Home,” Navpress). Is He at home in our thought life; in our appetites, desires, and motivation; in our devotional life; in our talents and gifts; in our entertainment; is hidden sin marring His comfort?; does He have title to our hearts?
