Coincidence?! I think not!

As I was packing, I saw this handmade pillow-case I got from Ethiopia on my last mission trip. It really made me think about Genesis 22 (that's what the picture is depicting) and the incredible "coincidence" last Sunday. At 8am at Dunkin Donuts, I was talking with April about translations and mentioned how some scholars believe Gen. 22:8 is best translated "God will provide HIMSELF as the lamb for a burnt offering..." (which is messianic! "Behold the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!"-John 1:29) rather than "God himself will provide"...Some 3 hours later, during the sermon not only did Tim mention the same verse, (even though he was preaching on John 15!) but he also mentioned the very fact that many Bible scholars believe the passage is messianic! Wow! What are the chances?! I mean there are over 31,000 verses in the Bible!
