Show Don't Tell: Genesis 18:1-15

Instead of saying "Three visitors told Abraham that Sarah would have a son," sit with him at the tent door. Heat of the day—the hour of rest—when Abraham looks up and sees three men standing nearby. Watch the hundred-year-old man run. Not walk. Run. Bowing to the ground, he begs them to stay. Feel the flurry of hospitality: feet washed, bread baked, a tender calf slaughtered. Sarah kneading dough in the tent, listening. Then the question that freezes everything: "Where is your wife Sarah?" They know her name. "I will surely return, and Sarah will have a son." Listen for Sarah's laugh behind the tent flap—a snort of disbelief. "Why did Sarah laugh?" And then: "Is anything too hard for the LORD?"
