May 30, 2014 --- Genesis 20 – Abraham pretends Sarah is his sister – again!

Read Genesis 20

- We know that Sarah was now at least 90 years old (see Ch 17:17) and yet Abraham evidently still feels he needs to deceive the King Abimelech about her…putting her in danger and in the King’s hands. Do you think Abraham should have learnt to trust God for protection by now, given the repeated promise of descendants which would come through him ?

- V12 reveals that, in Abraham’s perspective at least, he had not been lying about Sarah being his sister!
