“When they reached the place God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood on it. He bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. But the angel of the Lord called out to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied. “Do not lay a hand on the boy,” he said. “Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son.” Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son.”
Genesis 22:9-13 NIV
Message
Can you imagine being so obedient to God that you would sacrifice your own son? Abraham was. This scripture is a type of foreshadow of Jesus on the cross. The Old Testament is the New Testament concealed, and the New Testament is the Old Testament revealed, God loved us so much that he gave his only begotten Son as the ultimate sacrifice for those who call upon his name. God does not expect us to show our faith in him by sacrificing our own children, because he is full of grace, but he does expect us to offer ourselves to him as a living sacrifice daily by the way we live. Today’s prayer is that we would thank God for his amazing grace and renew our minds daily to live in God’s will for our lives…….Be Blessed
Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new 2 Corinthians 5:17
