In our sermon series using texts from Genesis with the theme “Family Matters,” today’s story is of Abraham’s servant, making a trip to find Isaac a wife. Much as Abraham had done a generation before, Rebekah trusts the direction of God and leaves her land to go somewhere she has never been to become the bride of someone she doesn’t know and bear a nation. When she arrives, never having seen Isaac and he never having seen her, the text says that Isaac took her as his wife, “and he loved her,” a simple and most powerful statement for us in our moment.
