Sunday School Lesson: Rebekah
Abraham was growing old, and before he died he wanted to find the right wife for his son Isaac. So he sent a trusted servant back to the place where he had come from. Abraham believed God would help his servant find a wife for Issac.
When the servant came to town, he went to its well where women came to get water. He asked God to let the first one to give him water for himself and his camels to be the one he was looking for. Soon, he saw the beautiful Rebekah coming to the well with her pitcher.
The servant asked Rebekah for a drink. She not only gave him water, but also brought some for his animals. He knew this was God’s sign. The servant then asked Rebekah’s family if she could go back with him to marry Issac.
“Yes,” they said. “This is what God wants.” The servant was very thankful that God had heard and answered his prayer that he bowed his head and praised the God of Abraham.
Then Rebekah went with the servant to Isaac’s home were she married him and he loved her all the days of her life.
