DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

John Henry Jowett preaches about the unchanging covenant of God with His
people, highlighting how the promise made to Abraham extends to his
descendants, emphasizing that death cannot nullify God's promises in the
realm of grace. He uses the analogy of a village well that continues to
provide for generations without needing to be replaced, symbolizing the
enduring nature of God's grace and salvation. Jowett encourages
believers to tap into the spiritual resources of Abraham and the Apostle
Paul, reminding them that all the strength and blessings given to these
great figures are also available to every believer, enabling them to
reach great heights and share in their triumph.

EXODUS vi. 2-8.

"I appeared unto Abraham.... I will be to you a God." The covenant made

with the father was renewed to the children. The father's death did not

disannul the promise of the Lord. Death has no power in the realms of

grace. His moth and his rust can never destroy the ministries of Divine

love. Abraham died and was laid to rest, but the river of life flowed
on,

and the bounties of the Lord never failed. The village well quenches the

thirst of many generations: and so is it through the generations with
the

wells of grace and salvation. The villagers have not to dig a new well

when the patriarch dies: "the river of God is full of water."

And thus I am privileged to share the spiritual resources of Abraham,
and

the still richer resources of the Apostle Paul. Nothing was given to him

that is withheld from me. He is like a great mountaineer, and he has

climbed to lofty heights; but I need not be dismayed. All the strength

that was given to him, in which he reached those lofty places, is mine

also. I may share his elevation and his triumph. "For the promise is

unto you and your children, and to all that are afar off."
