starting with Abraham
with the sons he bore in his old age
but the paths different
not worshiping the same God
starting with Abraham
but departing from Isaac
Ishmael’s children
not Chosen, not of the Promise
starting with Abraham
but diverging from Jesus
the Chosen People
not seeing the Son before them
starting with Abraham
grafted through Jesus
new shoots on the vine
those who believe in Christ
