A Sunday morning sermon by Stand Rev. Ajung Sojwal.The Story of Abraham interceding for Sodom & Gomorrah is a unique revelation of both God and Abraham. Here, Abraham’s intercession is an example of his relationship with God. At a time when there was no access to any written word of God, Abraham trusted God to speak to him. He was familiar with the voice of God and knew it apart from his own thoughts and desires. So when God visits him, Abraham recognizes this is no ordinary human being but that this is God.The divine visitation of God in human form is no doubt one of life’s greatest moments for Abraham. Here is God in human form, which he can see and even entertain. It is also an amazing story of how God will listen to his faithful servant. It is one thing to be able to recognize God and quite another to stand before God and repeatedly plead for a city. This event displays both the safety that Abraham feels before God and the grace of God in listening to Abraham. Let us learn to stand before the Lord with confidence and participate in what God is doing among the nations!
