Genesis 23:1–20 "The Purchased Land?"

With the death of his wife Sarah, Abraham realizes for certain that the fulfillment of the Promise Land is still in the future. This is a passage about waiting for God to provide a homeland, a final resting place not in death, but in eternal life. And so it leads us by the hand to our Savior Jesus Christ, whose death and resurrection are the proof that God can be trusted, and that our waiting is not in vain.
