Have you ever researched your family tree? Doing so can be interesting and educational as you discover the who, when, where, why and how of your own family history.The nation of Israel was meticulous about record keeping and took great pride in roll calling. The book of Numbers is a detailed account of generations of Israelites. Their inheritance was so important that even if they lost it, it would eventually revert back to them.
What about my own spiritual family tree? I am a child of the King. My brothers and sisters span throughout time and are born all over the world. Yet, no one is a "distant" relation in either time or space; no matter whether someone came into the family back in 200 A.D. or just a moment ago. There are no grandchildren, nieces, or cousins.
Our inheritance is equal and total for each of us. Favoritism does not exist. No one is ever disowned.
My Father is all powerful and everything is His! What a heritage!
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you." I Peter 1:14
