Lesson of Sarah

Sarah died at the age of 127 years.
She is the only woman in the Bible whose age at death is recorded.

Sarah mentioned outside of Genesis:

....when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara's womb:
Romans 4:19
For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sara shall have a son.
Romans 9:9
Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord:
1 Peter 3:6
Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you:
Isaiah 51:2
Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.
Hebrews 11:11

Lesson of life of Sarah: PATIENCE

For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age,
at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
Genesis 21:2
For the coming of the Messiah was foretold:
 Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son,
and shall call his name Immanuel.
Isaiah 7:14
Whish WAS fulfilled:
But when the fulness of the time was come,
God sent forth his Son, made of a woman,
Galatians 4:4
 
And the coming of the Messiah is foretold:
And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord,
when he will return from the wedding;
that when he cometh and knocketh,
they may open unto him immediately.
Luke 12:36
Which WILL be fulfilled:
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout,
with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God:
and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds,
to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
1 Thessalonians 4:16,17
 
Here is the patience of the saints:
here are they that keep the commandments of God,
and the faith of Jesus.
Revelation 14:12
