Genesis 24—The Call

It has pleased God to give us in Abraham's history the fundamental principles of faith, in all the relations of man with God on the ground of pure grace, without law.
In chapter 22, we have a complete reference to Christ and His death. as the Lord Himself shows in John 8:56. Abraham offers up his son Isaac, and receives him back again through death "in a figure" (Heb. 11:19). This act represents in type the resurrection of Christ, who becomes, as Isaac was, the heir of all the goods of His Father, which He can now share with His bride. In this way Rebekah becomes a type of the Church, and, in answering the call, she is an example for each and every Christian.
We find scripture exalting the person of Christ, whether His fullness be portrayed in type and shadow, as in the Old Testament, or in Himself, as the sent one of the Father, as seen in the New, God manifest in flesh, dwelling among us here in this world.
In this chapter, Eliezer, a type of the Holy Ghost, is sent by Abraham to procure a bride for his only son. Isaac does not go himself, nor does Christ return from heaven to choose a bride. The bride must go to the land of promise.
As we trace Eliezer's path from the father's house to that distant land, and then escorting the bride back again across a lonely country, we see the features of the Holy Spirit's work, and the way in which a soul is conducted under His guidance. All the goods of his master are under his control, but they all belong to Isaac who is the heir.
