Abraham becomes our great hero and example if we appreciate these things. The ultimate recognition that the fulfilment of the promises lay in the future came for the tired old man when his wife died; he actually had to buy part of the promised land in which to bury her (Acts 7:16).
Abrahamu amekuwa shujaa wetu mkuu wa mfano kama tunafahamu mambo haya. mwisho wa kutambuliwa utimilifu wa ahadi ulikuja wakati wa baadae kwa mzee aliyechoka kwa mke aliyekufa; kwa kweli ilimbidi anunue kiwanja cha nchi ya ahadi kwa ajili ya kuzika (Mdo. 7:16).
