When Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, behold, three men were standing opposite him; and when he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them and bowed himself to the earth, and said, “My Lord, if now I have found favor in Your sight, please do not pass Your servant by.
One God in three persons has bound Himself to us in the flesh of Christ Jesus, who, after making atonement for the sin of the world on the tree of the cross, rose again from the dead, bringing a new creation to bear upon all that is fallen and dying before our eyes.
The life and benefits of this Christ are distributed widely and concretely in those places where His Word rings out clearly and truly. He is the Christ born of the virgin Mary, whose flesh also was, in time, derived from that of Eve and of Sarah, to whom the LORD spoke as He speaks to all in His everlasting, unchanging Word.
He is the Living Christ who abides in and with His people throughout time and eternity.
