TO THE SONS OF ABRAHAM
Beloved, say to the Sons of Abraham:
You declare that you are sons of Abraham, yet, you do not posses the traits of your ancestor. Abraham was a man of peace and you are the sons of strife. Abraham kept his peace even over the disputed land - which he willingly gave to his nephew Lot to avoid strife between their shepherds. Thus, I blessed Abraham with prosperity, a long life and a peaceful walk.
Still, you sons of Abraham, you spread your contention at every offense; not just over land but over every word and thought. This is not of your father Abraham for he would be ashamed of your strife. This is not the way of Abraham's Father - for I am ashamed of your strife.
Where is your faith? Do you not believe that I can restore your prosperity and peace as I did for Abraham? You are unruly children who follow not My ways, but the ways of your true father.
Repent and return to the ways of your father Abraham. Let peace reign in your hearts and mind. Let the battle be My battle and I will bless you with prosperity and peace and all the world will see your glory.
"Truly, truly, I say to you, every one who commits sin is a slave to sin. The slave does not continue in the house for ever; the son continues for ever. So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. I know that you are descendants of Abraham; yet you seek to kill me, because my Word finds no place in you. I speak of what I have seen with My Father, and you do what you have heard from your father.
"They answered him, 'Abraham is our father. Jesus said to them, If you were Abraham's children, you would do what Abraham did, but now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God; This is not what Abraham did. You did what your father did." John 8:34-41 RSV
