Les explains that the Abrahamic covenant of Genesis chapter 12 is the backdrop for the promise that through Abraham all the nations of the world would be blessed. He then asks how that blessing would come, and answers that it comes through the seed of the woman—Jesus Christ—who would go to the cross, be raised from the dead, and become the very epitome of our salvation experience. This seed is also identified as the seed of Abraham, and the One who was promised way back in Genesis chapter 3.
And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
