Abraham, Our Forefather

As a child you may have sung the song “Father Abraham” about Abraham’s many sons. Abraham is recognized as a forefather in Christian, Jewish and Muslim teachings. Christian and Jews trace their lineage through Isaac, while Muslims trace their origins through Ishmael , the two most well-known sons of Abraham.

While a majority of the population falls under one of the three ‘Abrahamic’ religions, few people consider what an amazing person Abraham was! So called ‘Christian’s’ ask themselves ‘What would Jesus do?’, but you should also ask ‘What would Abraham do?’ as Jesus himself suggested!

“They (Jews/Pharisees) answered and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus said to them, ‘If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.’”

John 8:39

So, what did Abraham do?! This article introduces you to Abraham, our forefather.
