Explanation: The promise God gives to Abraham is good news for fallen mankind. Through this one family, God would bring his blessing to all families on the Earth. God will restore what mankind had broken. God will create a new people, give them a new place, and rule over them by his Word. Jesus is the fulfillment of this promise because he is the true son of Abraham’s promise.
Be sure to emphasize that Abraham had to wait many years for God’s promise to come true. But waiting does not mean that it didn’t come true. Waiting give us an opportunity to have faith in God’s Word.
This lesson plan is part of my series based on The Big Picture Story Bible by David R. Helm and Gail Schoonmaker. These lessons can be used with other story Bibles or by telling the Bible stories in your own words. However, I strongly recommend this book for it’s excellent illustrations and unifying approach to salvation history.
