Wrap-Up

You’ve definitely heard one big emphasis in Bible Journey by now: that God’s global interest is not displaced by the shift in focus to a chosen family. In fact, the two are inextricably related. You’ve also gotten acquainted to a set of covenant promises that are, for the most part, delayed. The map of Canaan is, at this point, just there to see where the patriarchs and matriarchs were buried! And now, the next step in our journey involves 400 years in Egypt where God’s people will suffer a lot before any sign of release comes from heaven. Let’s stick with the plot as it thickens. Each generation has a unique challenge to stay true to a God who offers an amazing covenant but who reveals himself only occasionally.
