Abraham grieves the death of his wife Sarah, which leads to the purchase of the first legal piece of real estate in the promised land from the Hittites, the descendants of Canaan. Abraham pays full price for the cave of Machpelah and it becomes the first fruits of the entire promised land inheritance for God's people. This is a sweet reminder of how Jesus paid the full price for our souls and gave us the first fruits, the down payment of our future glory, the glorious promised land of heaven.
