Genesis 26:17-22
Excerpted from: Four Views of Christ (Part 1)

Water plays a very significant role in the lives of people in the book of Genesis.

I want you to notice something as we go by here. I think you all understand that Isaac was a type of Christ. If we would go through all the chapters that have to do with Abraham and Isaac, I think you would be very surprised to see how much wells of water had to do with their well-being. God led them to wells of water.

What did the world do? The world tried to steal them. The world tried to plug them up. God is showing a form of persecution. The elect, He is showing, have access to the wells God supplies while the world tries to stop up—persecute—so we cannot drink from them.

Genesis 26:22
Excerpted from: Resistance (Part Three): Persistence

There was a lot of strife going on.

‘Rehoboth’ means ‘spacious’ or ‘roomy.’ And so we have the three wells here—Esek, Sitnah, Rehoboth. Two of them were quarreled over and finally get to Rehoboth, and everything is good—they have room, they have peace, they have water. And what does Isaac do?

Genesis 26:20-22
Excerpted from: Abraham (Part Eleven)

Isaac was a man of peace. He was a man that gave space to anger. He was a man that did not go to war with people even though they were treating him deviously and unfairly. He simply moved somewhere else.
