Second witness comes up, which is father Abraham. We’ll call him. He said, “Oh, yes, I know Mr. Scoffer here. I know Mr. Unbeliever, Mr. Skeptic, oh, that Mr. Impatience. I was a prophet, also, in my day. And the Word of the Lord came to me and said, ‘Separate yourself from these people, for you’re going to have a baby by Sarah your wife.’ She was sixty-five years old, and I was seventy-five. She was about twenty-five, thirty years past menopause. I married her. She was my half-sister. I married her when she just a girl, and I a boy. Ten years difference in our age, and I married her. She became my wife. We’d lived together all these years, and she was barren and I was sterile. And yet, being a prophet, the Word of the Lord came to me and said, ‘You will bear a child by Sarah.’”
“Well, when I told Sarah that, she went downtown and got some yarn and made the booties, and got the pins ready and everything. And twenty-eight days passed. I said, ‘How you feeling, honey?’”
“Said, ‘No different.’ But I held steady, because I knowed it was the Word of the Lord.” That’s right.
“We went over to see the doctor, and he run us out of the office.” An old man, seventy-five years old; and a woman, sixty-five, going to have a baby.
You know, when you take God at His Word, regardless of what your condition is, He made the promise.
And he said, “I went to the doctor, and the doctor ran us out of the office.”
“‘An old man like you?’ Said, ‘Watch him. He’s a little funny in his head.’ Said, ‘There is something wrong with the old fellow.’”
And the scoffers begin to walk around, say, “Abraham, where is that son that you was going to have by Sarah, after the first month? There’s nothing wrong with her, so they tell me.” The first year passed. Nothing happened. “Abraham, father of nations, how many children do you have now?” Ten years passed, still no different. Scoffers!
“Mr. Impatient, he kept pointing his finger at me, ‘See, there’s nothing to it. Why, if there is something to it, you’d had it. That’s ten years ago. You ought to had that baby, in ten years.’”
But, he said, “I held steady, because I was fully persuaded, that what God said. God never told me when I was going to have that baby. He said I would have it.
“But after twenty-five years, when I was a hundred years old and Sarah was ninety, the baby come on the scene.” He’s a very good witness. “I waited twenty-five years. I never staggered at the promise of God, by unbelief.”
And we claim to be Abraham’s children, and can’t wait from one night to the other. Just proves we’re not. That’s right. Watch, we get on the wrong side.
