The encounter of Abraham and Sarah with the three heavenly visitors is a favorite story for believers. Rublev famously painted an icon of the scene as an image of the love of the Trinity. The point of the story is found in the words of “the Lord;” Is anything too marvelous for the LORD to do? In the Gospel story of Jesus healing the servant of the centurion in Matthew’s gospel we find one of the marvels of the Lord — that “many will come from east and west” to share in faith. It is not the ones you would expect who become believers but everyone touched by grace. Who the chosen people are has been expanded to include even the likes of you and me!
