I think the part I am most fascinated by in the Genesis reading is actually earlier on, before Abraham is set to sacrifice his son. When Hagar and her son leave to the desert, and she feels that all hope is lost, God, in His sovereignty, was with Hagar. He spared Ishmael’s life, He provided for them even in their lowest point. He met them in their mourning and cared and provided for them.

“Whoever is of God hears the word of God.” I pray to be as obedient as Abraham.

I dint really understand the but about Abraham giving his son up for an offering like he didn’t seem to show any emotion, is this significant?
-
This passage is significant because Abraham was obedient the entire time, and God wants to see us living in Godly fear of Him as we are obedient. Abraham never questioned God or asked God to change His mind about sacrificing Isaac, he just did it knowing how important it was to obey the Lord. It teaches us to obey and trust even when we don’t understand and when it hurts because God has something bigger in mind.

He completely trusted God. He told his men that they would return. He knew that God had promised him a son and that his descendants would be more than the stars. He didn’t understand why God asked for the sacrifice but he knew God had a planned. It wasn’t that he didn’t have emotion, he just had faith.

This is my least favorite story in the Word, but it shows, on a level that we can understand, the horrible prospect of sacrificing ones only son. Abraham loved Isaac. He was also obedient. God provides.
This sets up for God sending his only son into the world for us; doing something none of us would ever do. -
Abraham tells his servants that they were going to sacrifice and that he and his son would return. He also told Isaac God would provide a lamb. I believe the New Testament even has a scripture that refers to Abraham having faith in the promise God has given him that he would be the father of many nations through his son Isaac. He knew God had promised that Isaac was the son of promise and he knew God would keep his word.

Even our Lord and Savior was called demonic. Because when there is holy and radical and merciful love that goes against the logic and norms of people, even when it’s the savior himself, the people who are scared and set in their ways will always claim there is a demon when truly they cannot settle the fear inside them.

I cannot even think of the right words to describe how graceful and Full of mercy our God is…. he spares Abraham the pain of losing his only son… and then send his own 1 and only to die for us!John 8:29
“The one who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, because I aways do what pleases him.”This did not give me comfort at all… and makes me wander… when we are not pleasing God is he still with us? What did Jesus mean by this? They were believers he was talking to … just not so much believers in him being sent by God.. I am a believer and have had moments astray.. was God with me when I was not pleasing him? ….. this verse really has me thinking this morning

I would say yes because He is a merciful God.
