Teach your students the powerful legacy of Abraham and his wife Sarah through hands-on activities and interactive Bible study! This engaging 4-5 hour Bible lesson unit (with 61 total pages and slides) covers Genesis 23-25, helping students discover how Abraham’s faith in God’s covenant promises shaped his life—and how those promises point directly to Jesus as our Guarantor of eternal life.
Key Biblical Truth: Abraham’s life was defined by “the dash” on his tombstone ➖️ (the time between his birth and his death). In fact, that “dash” is the very reason God puts us on earth. Abraham trusted in God’s “I will” promises, and because of his faith, he died in peace, knowing that his descendants would inherit the Promised Land and ultimately bring forth the Messiah. In the same way, we can rest in OUR GUARANTOR ~ Jesus ~ who has promised to come back and bring us to our promised land - Heaven!
✴️Lesson Highlights & Hands-On Activities:
➖️Introduction: Understanding Legacy: Students explore real gravestone messages and reflect on how their "dash"—the time between birth and death—shapes their own legacy.
⚰️A Down Payment in the Promised Land – Discover how Abraham’s purchase of Sarah’s burial site in Canaan was a symbolic down payment of God's promise to give his descendants the land.
♥️Finding a Wife for Isaac – Through an interactive walking journey to a well in Haran, students learn about arranged marriages, the role of camels, and the concept of a bride-price in biblical times.
✍️Color Coding Abraham & Sarah’s Legacy - Students learn about the unique legacy of Alfred Nobel and then color code verses from the early part of Genesis that describe both Abraham and Sarah’s unique legacy.
⚓️Abraham & Sarah’s Legacy – After a brief discussion about the meanings of symbols often found on tombstones (such as an anchor, wreath, clasped hands) students design and illustrate two tombstones: one for Abraham and one for Sarah. For Christian and homeschool teachers, a project requirements sheet is included in the lesson.
✝️ What Have I Learned About Jesus? Through scripture comparisons, students connect God’s promises to Abraham with Jesus’ promises that He will return for us. Jesus is our Guarantor, assuring our future inheritance in Heaven and He gave the Holy Spirit as the down payment. Jesus is coming back ~ He guarantees it!
⭐️This engaging lesson provides a deep, meaningful study of Abraham’s faith and how it connects to Jesus' promises for us today.

❓️FAQS❓️
What Christian perspective is used for these Bible lessons?
I am an evangelical Christian who writes Bible curriculum for older students, and I take this tremendous responsibility seriously. Each lesson has a clear focus on what God says in His Word and the lessons are presented age appropriately, thoughtfully and biblically.
What translation of the Bible is used? 99% of the time I use the ESV although on rare occasion I might use another translation such as the NIV.
How can this Bible lesson be used?
Each lesson unit in our Walking Alongside Jesus series is divided into five sections, each section takes between 30 minutes to an hour. This allows homeschool and Christian school teachers to use it daily in the classroom (thereby completing an entire unit in a week) OR in a Sunday School classroom or youth group once a week (thereby completing an entire unit in a month). These lessons are flexible enough to be used in the following settings:
Children's Sunday School class
Youth Group
Private Christian school Bible class
Chapel for Christian schools
