    Though Abraham is declared to be the "father of many nations" by the LORD, his son Isaac is worth investigating this Father’s Day -- he was a man of faith: born a son of promise, and serving as an exquisite illustration of God’s destiny.

    Abraham failed to contend for a supernatural offspring, opting to settle for less than God's best. Many Christians do likewise. God commands, "Get rid of the slave woman and her son!" i.e - "Stop accepting only natural solutions!"

    Where are our true origins? We can only be free from death and law and the need to justify ourselves when we realise that our real mother is not from this world, but that we are children of the heavenly Jerusalem, of the promise of God
