Shekinah revealed: How the LORD’s tangible presence refutes the ‘absentee landlord’ myth (Genesis 18; Isaiah 33–34; Luke 8)
Saturday, 1 February, 2025
This study of Genesis 18 further explores Abraham's faith journey. His bargaining for the lives of the residents of Sodom and Gomorrah highlights why the LORD knew he was the right choice to establish a legacy of overcoming the world and staying on Heaven's path of justice and righteousness. This startling example of the LORD's active presence and involvement in human affairs is far removed from the accusation that He's an "absentee landlord." A parallel passage in Luke 8 reveals how the parable of the sower, the healings of the bleeding woman and dead girl, and the Shema ("Hear, O Israel" from Deuteronomy 6) seem to be intertwined — and linked to Sarah's Heaven-sent gift of a son. A lesson in all that is we need to be open to, truly understand and obey God's word. We also delve into the role of wealth, hospitality and service in the Kingdom of Heaven, calling us to faithfulness in all aspects of life.
