Everyone has momentous moments in their lives. Graduation for some, marriage or children for others. Some occasions are momentous, not for the good they remind us of but for the hardship: divorce, death, loss. It is rare, though, for such an individually important moment to be shared through one person by the many. Today, we have just such an event. The Lord will demonstrate his grace and kindness, and put into place his eternal plan for our redemption here, in the calling of this one man, Abram. His calling is not dissimilar to ours, for it points towards it.
