Throughout history the prophecy given by God to Hagar in Genesis 16:11-12 and reiterated in Genesis 25:18 at the death of Ishmael has continued to play out that the descendants of Ishmael would be hostile toward their “brothers”. That said, and in spite of their hostility, there is hope for them through the saving grace of God for any who call on Christ to be saved. Our task as followers of Jesus is to spread the good news to any and all who need to hear about Jesus. After all, even we, at one time, were the enemies of God. Let’s be ready to give an answer for the hope within us.
