Where Is The Lamb?

Jun 1, 2014    Nick Nye    Genesis 22:1-18

Abraham hears the call of God to take Isaac and sacrifice him upon the mountain. So Abraham obediently gathers the wood and takes Isaac with him, but last minute is kept from killing his only son. It's easy for us to interpret this text as a call for moralistic sacrifice, but instead this is a beautiful narrative pointing us to when God would truly sacrifice his Son for us on the mountain and we, like Isaac, can go unharmed.
