Genesis 24:1-21
The servant was sent on a mission. He was 'to get a wife for...Isaac' (4). When Christ entered Jerusalem (Matthew 21:1-11), He was on a mission. He had come for His Bride, the Church (Ephesians 5:25; Revelation 21:2-3). The servant was not to 'get a wife...from...the Canaanites' (3). The Church is to be made 'holy,...a radiant Church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless' (Ephesians 5:26-27). The servant carried out his mission carefully and prayerfully (12-14). Jesus was careful to fulfil the words of the prophet - entering Jerusalem 'on a donkey' (Matthew 21:2-7). In His journey to the Cross, Jesus was concerned with this one thing - 'to do the will of Him who sent me and to finish His work' (John 4:34). The servant prayed, and the answer was given (15-16). Not my will but Thine, Lord!
