The Abraham Story Part 5:

In this lesson, we explore the fascinating and challenging story of Abraham's journey to Egypt (Genesis 12:10-20)—a moment of crisis where famine tests his faith, leading him to deception and unintended consequences.

📖 Key Themes:

Abraham's crisis of faith when famine strikes the promised land

His "wife-sister" deception and its cultural background

The Eden imagery in Sarai’s beauty and Abraham’s failure

The unexpected irony—Pharaoh, a pagan king, rebuking God’s chosen one

Avram as the "snake"—seeking good on his own terms instead of trusting God

🔍 What can we learn?

Even God's chosen ones struggle with fear and faith. Abraham's failure reminds us of the dangers of relying on our own wisdom rather than trusting in God's promises. Yet, despite his shortcomings, God's grace remains evident.
