Genesis (Program #79) – Being Chosen (2)
Today we are going to hear about the corporate aspect of God’s calling.
It is quite interesting to see Abraham, Isaac and Jacob all put together are showing us one corporate man. With Abraham you see a person who lives a life of faith. With Isaac you see a person who lives a life of enjoyment and with Jacob you can see a person who has experienced transformation for the sake of the fulfillment God’s eternal purpose. Eventually, Jacob’s name was Is-ra-el. El on the end means God. It means God has been added to this man. So the wonder thing here you put these 3 together and you see what’s on God’s heart. God’s eternal purpose is the main topic of the whole Bible. And that is He wants to dispense Himself, and work Himself into a corporate humanity for what purpose? So that He could be expressed. God is working Himself into a corporate humanity so that He could be expressed through this humanity, because this is what is on His heart according to His eternal purpose which He made in eternity past. So we see these 3 representing one corporate person in God’s purpose.
