The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. The Scripture does not say, “and to seeds,” meaning many people, but “and to your seed,” meaning one person, who is Christ (Galatians 3:16).
It couldn’t have been just anyone.
Or even a bunch of anyones
Remember the King Arthur legend? Many tried to remove the sword from the stone–fine men, strong men, capable men–but none was successful.
They couldn’t be–because none of them was the Promised One.
It wasn’t a question of natural strength, but of supernatural power.
Only the One promised from ancient times could step up and free the sword, and free the people.
Huh…I wonder how that legend came about?
Happy Tuesday, Beloved
