"Laughing at the Promise" Then What...? - Pastor Quinton

Part 8 Then what...?

Genesis 18:9-15 (NIV)

9 “Where is your wife Sarah?” they asked him. “There, in the tent,” he

said.

10 Then one of them said, “I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah

your wife will have a son.” Now Sarah was listening at the entrance to the tent, which was

behind him.

11 Abraham and Sarah were already very old, and Sarah was past the age of

childbearing.

12 So Sarah laughed to herself as she thought, “After I am worn out and my lord is

old, will I now have this pleasure?”

13 Then the Lord said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and

say, ‘Will I really have a child, now that I am old?’

14 Is anything too hard for the Lord? I will

return to you at the appointed time next year, and Sarah will have a son.”

15 Sarah was afraid, so

she lied and said, “I did not laugh.” But he said, “Yes, you did laugh.”
