Will You Go With This Man?
Ge 24:58 Then they called Rebekah and said to her, "Will you go with this man?" And she said, "I will go."
Genesis 24 is the story of Abraham seeking a wife for His son Isaac. He sent his trusted servant (probably Eliezer) to find a wife for him. Abraham's servant found Rebekah and her family and told them everything as to what he was sent for.
A question was posed to Rebekah: "Will you go with this man?" She replied: "I will go." And he led her to Isaac, Abraham's unique son, and they became married.
This is nothing less than a picture and an illustration of salvation. God the Father sends the Holy Spirit, presenting Christ, God's Son, to the sinner. One of the Spirit's ministries is to woo the sinner to Christ. If the sinner does not resists the Spirit, he will be led to the Savior for salvation.
If you are reading this article right now and you have these desires to repent and come to Christ, know that that is the Holy Spirit wooing you.
Will you go with this "Man," the Holy Spirit, to lead you to trust in the Lord Jesus Christ alone for salvation?
