Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

That is, Not the children, &c. - As if he had said, This is a clear type of things to come; showing us, that in all succeeding generations, not the children of the flesh, the lineal descendants of Abraham, but the children of the promise, they to whom the promise is made, that is, believers, are the children of God.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical

There was nothing extraordinary or supernatural in his conception, as there was in Isaac's; he was born after the flesh ( Gal. iv. 29 ), representing those that expect justification and salvation by their own strength and righteousness. (2.) That the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
