Meditation
Be Sons of Promised
Mother
Abraham had a son through
Hagar, a slave girl. Abraham had another son through Sarah. He had two sons,
Ismael and Isaac. Ismael was born of Hagar, and Isaac was born of Sarah. One
was born of the flesh, and another was born of the promise of God. One was born
of a slave woman, and another was born of a free woman.
Both the sons are sons of
Abraham. They are of the two covenants—the sons of slavery and Jerusalem. We are
sons of God and also slaves of sin and slavery. One has to be the child of God
and free and not a slave of sin. There is a choice to be sons of God and be
free. Yet time we choose to be sons of slaves. Let us overcome our inclinations
of flesh and be sons of the promised mother.
Do we live as Sons of promised
mothers?
