"'I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.'"
Genesis 12:3 (NKJ)
This promise of the Lord's is incredible for at least two major reasons.
For one, it showcases a great promise made to a great nation--an ancient, enduring, blessed nation.
And secondly, this verse also includes a promise made to the entire world. The part where it's said that "all the families of the earth shall be blessed," is a direct reference to Jesus Christ! Just as this promise conveys, He came through the descendants of Abraham (to whom God is speaking in this verse), and made eternal life available to anyone and everyone in the world.
It's so awesome hearing prophecies about Christ as early as Genesis 12; don't you agree?
