Ringkasan:
One day, God asked Abraham to sacrifice his only son. Abraham did not understand exactly what would happen but he had faith in God. He would do what God said. Abraham knew God would keep the covenant He made with him.
After they reached the mountain. Abraham has to do the very hardest thing he had ever done in his whole life, to sacrifice his only son. When Abraham took the knife and he raised it up in the air above, suddenly there was an angel voice from heaven, “Do not lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him, for now I know that you fear God.” Genesis 22:12.
When he lifts his head , he sees a ram that’s tangled up in a thorn bush. Abraham took the ram for the burnt offering for God. Abraham named the place “The Lord will provide”, because God had provided the ram to die in Isaac’s place – Just as God provided Jesus to be our savior and die in our place.
Lesson summary
1. We need the test from God. When there is a test, we will learn to trust and obey God, like what Abraham did. Abraham obviously loved Isaac very much, but to him obedience to God's will was even more important than loving Isaac. Our faith will grow stronger and stronger when we follow God.
2. The sacrifice of Isaac was a symbol of Christ's sacrifice. God provided the lamb for the burnt offering. God wants us to understand how much He loves us. The cross reminds us that Jesus was sacrificed for us. God sent His only son to die on the cross, Jesus Christ took all the punishment we deserved, so that our sins can be forgiven.
