‘Abraham- the first evangelist in Old Testament according to Biblical account.’ Gen
12:7(b) says “So he built there an altar to the Lord…” Gen 12:6 mentions that, “Abraham
built an altar in the land of Shechem where Canaanites were in the land.”
Canaanites religious practices were offering donkeys, goats, sheep and child
sacrifice during special occasions. Abraham though he was in the foreign land
he did not lose his nature of acknowledging God’s deeds by building an altar.
By building altar in the foreign land he proclaimed his
religiosity/spirituality in front of other Semitic people. Dear God, give us
the same nature like Abraham to show our nature of thankfulness/kindness
towards you in all our deeds. Help us not to lose our nature in Church and society. In Jesus name we
pray. Amen.
