Bringing the Bride to the Son

Abraham's faithful servant found the woman God had appointed to be Isaac's wife in the previous passage, Genesis 24:1-27. His assignment is not complete, however, until he secures the agreement of her family and brings her all the way to her new home in Genesis 24:28-67. There is no doubt that the servant spent much of the return trip extolling the virtues of Isaac to Rebekah, his bride-to-be. The story reaches a climax when Isaac and Rebekah's eyes meet in verses 63 and 64, seeing one another for the first time. In a similar way, the Holy Spirit is our guide through life, helping us understand more about our Lord and Savior, and bringing us all the way to our forever home with our Beloved. We "will see Him just as He is" (1 John 3:2) and be transformed into His likeness. What a glorious day!
