It’s Not About You

by Rev. Paul A. Hughes, M.Div.

Do you really think this is all about you?

It wasn’t about Abraham. God honored his faith, promising to make him the father of many nations. But Abraham had to leave his homeland and journey to an unknown destination. He lived as a wanderer all his life, surrounded always by lawless and violent pagans. At one point he was required to offer up his dear son as a sacrifice, and in times of doubt he made grave errors in judgment that cost him dearly. He died without ever seeing the promise come to pass. No, it wasn’t about Abraham.

It wasn’t about Joseph.
