However, I think your final caveat is no small matter. I realize one has to be a bit flexible with Old Testament types, but a scenario in which the Father and the Son have to be tricked and cheated out of the blessing presents a pretty stark contrast to the grace of God in Christ our Lord. I'll have to give it some further thought. In the meantime, though, as I say, I really do love your description. That would make yet a third thing I've never picked up on before! So, thanks for that, my friend.Rev.

We even get to SMELL like our Elder Brother to the Father. <BR/><BR/>Of course it was not a case of hoodwinking the Father but of His plan and purpose to work things this way for our joy and salvation.William Weedonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01383850332591975790noreply@blogger.com
