03: Sacrifices – Thought Starters — 3 Comments

  1. [Moderator's note: Please use your full name.]

    Abraham was obeying God's comment , with heavy heart and sadness , I am sure he was in pain . For this was his only son and whom he loved so very much. But the love he had for God" was far much greater , that he was ready to give up his son Isaac in sacrificial to God". What love what faith what pain ! But God" bless him and gave him many nations (children).. As a mother I don't think I could do what God" ask Abraham, but as an obedience child we must follow God's plan for us. Thank God" for his son Jesus who took it all to the cross we no longer have to sacrifice with blood. Thank you Jesus

  2. There are two amazing things I get from the challenge sacrificial challenge to Abraham. One, that Abraham was willing not only to listen but to actually go through with the sacrifice trusting God would provide a substitute or restore his son. The second and most profound is that God intervened for Abraham but I thought in the back of my mind, when it was God's turn to sacrifice, there was nothing to substitute for His Son. Jesus' life had to be given because we had no other way out of the sin mess we got into. God always provides a way out for us, even when it means we can't pay Him back or restore the ultimate sacrifice He made and continues to make for us.
