In our relationship series, Connect, we are looking at the lives of Bible couples and the issues they dealt with. This week, we look at the marriage of Abraham and Sarah who learned to connect in their marriage in the midst of difficult circumstances.
When you meet someone, you usually want to know something about them. Here's some information on Abraham and Sarah:
How they met? We don't know.
What was she like? Sarah's name means "princess". She trusted her husband's leadership (I Peter 3).
What was he like? Abraham trusted the Lord (Genesis 12:1-4; Genesis 17:1-6).
What was their issue? Infertility. As a result, Sarah talked Abraham into conceiving a child, an heir, with her maid Hagar (Genesis 16: 1-4). Not surprisingly, this only caused trouble (Genesis 21: 8-21). For many people. For all of history.
How'd it end? Though Abraham and Sarah made mistakes, they were noted for their lifelong faithfulness to God by the writer of the book of Hebrews (Hebrews 11: 8-12) in what is sometimes referred to as the "hall of fame of faith".
