Abram, Sheik of Ur – Blessed by God
My original posts from this series reveal why we can call Abram a Sheik. Our focus, however, is why the Messiah Jesus responds to claims of religious or cultural traditions of Abraham and Moses.
“We are offspring of Abraham.”
In effect Jesus tells us, ‘Yes, the Jews are sons of Abraham.’ Yet you may forfeit your inheritance by choosing ‘tradition’ over the faith of Abraham.

By faith Abraham believed in God’s promise. And Jesus blesses and adopts those who believe into the same blessing of God.
