In this installment of Ancestry. Jesus, "The Promise" we will not only delve into the lives of Abraham and Sarah as seen from their viewpoint, but also look at events as seen from the eyes of Mary, the mother of Jesus. Through looking deep into emotionally charged scenes, such as God's call to offer Isaac as a sacrifice, parallels will be drawn to the life of Jesus Christ as only Mary would have understood. Of interest is that with Abraham and Sarah, a new chapter unfolds in the history of the Bible with how God deals with humanity. The Lord, working to keep His promise to save humanity from the destruction of the Devil, reached out His sovereign hand and plucked Abraham and Sarah from paganism to be blessed, and through their offspring to bless all mankind. Making a Promise for the salvation of humanity after the sin of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, God prophesized to the Devil with His words in Genesis 3:15, "I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring: he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel."(Genesis 3:15)In studying the lives of Abraham and Sarah, we will see how God's Promise is progressing towards fruition with the lineage leading to the birth of Jesus Christ
