Sarah and Hagar in Three Parts
Scripture References: Genesis 16:1-16, Galatians 4:1-32, Genesis 15:1-16

Besides Mr. Rogers, the lawyer from Luke 10 is probably the most famous individual to ask “Who is my neighbor?” Jesus saw through the question, and flipped it on its head, asking instead, “Which person proved to be a neighbor?”
Isn’t this the only question that really matters? Our neighborly attitude shouldn’t be limited by culture or race, but by bandwidth. In other words, am I showing kindness and love and charity to as many people as possible, or only those I feel are worthy of it?

CloseThe story of Sarah and Hagar is one of contention, and Paul draws on this contention in detailing the relationship between the Old and New Covenants in Galatians 4. But the real story is not about simply making a parallel between the two, but drawing a lesson that is meant for all of us to learn from: Don't go back to slavery.
