If you were to turn to Luke 2:8-20 what story would you find? What is that group of books called? How many Gospels are there? Let us say those four names, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Let us find the first one of the Gospels which is also the first book in the New Testament. What is the name of that book? Find chapter 25 and verse 40. Let us mark that verse, for it is one we ought always to remember, and it will be a pleasure to us to be reminded of it as we turn the pages of our Bibles. Shall we read it together?
What is our text for this year? (Luke 11:28.) Listen while I read something which God said to Abraham (Genesis 12:2, last sentence of 3). What a wonderful promise that was! To-day we will find out how that promise came true.
