Through how Abraham almost sacrificed his firstborn son to God, it shows how strong his faith to Him was. The first connections I made was that it symbolized how God would send his firstborn son as a sacrifice for us, allowing all of us today to have eternal life. Another connection made is that God shows how much faith he expects from us. Through laying down things we love for him, he is teaching us how to love him, and ultimately fulfill his wish of having us praise him and spread his glory.

In Genesis 39:17-18, Potiphar's wife wanted Joseph to sleep with her. Joseph refused and left her but she grabbed his cloak. From there, the wife spread false accusations about how Joseph wanted to sleep with her but she screamed, making him run away, leaving his cloak behind. In Luke 3:14, it was commanded that people should not accuse anyone falsely. As Potiphar's wife spread a false story to her husband, it resulted in Joseph being punished. From Luke, we can see that her actions were wrong.

In Luke 3:14, John the Baptist was talking to a crowd and was preaching when some soldiers asked him how to live. John replied that they should not take money forcefully and accuse people falsely. This can be connected to the story of Potiphar's wife, where she wanted to sleep with Joseph, and when he refused, spread a false rumor about him. The verse clearly was against accusing people falsely, which includes spreading a false story about someone, which shows that Potiphar's wife was sinning.

In Genesis 15-17, we could read about the promises made to Abraham, and we can see them fulfilled today. A promise God made was to give him the Promised Land. Sure enough, that land was occupied by the Israelites and Joshua (descendant of Abraham). Another was that the Lord promised him offspring and that his descendants would be as numerous as the stars. The Bible has called Jesus a descendant of Abraham, therefore fulfilling that promise, as everyone is spiritually the seed of Christ.

In Genesis 18:12 it says that Sarah laughed to herself when she heard that she would give birth to a child. She didn't believe in it and had already given up all hope. I can see this in my own life as I often times doubt God's plan and I act rashly without thinking of my consequences. Especially this year, I couldn't really hear what God was saying to me and I wasn't sure about my faith. When people say that He loves us, sometimes I find it hard to believe. I hope to grow in him as Sarah did.
