What did Jesus mean when He said, "Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day; and he saw it and was glad"?
Does this mean Abraham "saw" this in his own time while he was still alive and on the earth, or did He mean that Abraham had seen Jesus in heaven? Or did Jesus mean this in some other way?
John 8:56
NKJV - 56 "Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad."
