ABRAHAM IS WILLING TO OFFER ISAAC
A. God’s command to Abraham and his response.
1. (Genesis 22:1-2) God tests the faith of Abraham.
[Gen 22:1-2 ESV] 1 After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am." 2 He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."
2. (Genesis 22:3) Abraham’s immediate response of faith.
B. Abraham’s offering of Isaac.
1. (Genesis 22:4-8) Abraham journeys to the place of sacrifice with Isaac.
[Gen 22:7 ESV] 7 And Isaac said to his father Abraham, "My father!" And he said, "Here I am, my son." He said, "Behold, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?"
[Gen 22:8 ESV] 8 Abraham said, "God will provide for himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son." So they went both of them together.
[Gen 21:12 ESV] 12 But God said to Abraham, "Be not displeased because of the boy and because of your slave woman. Whatever Sarah says to you, do as she tells you, for through Isaac shall your offspring be named.
[Heb 11:17-19 ESV] 17 By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was in the act of offering up his only son, 18 of whom it was said, "Through Isaac shall your offspring be named." 19 He considered that God was able even to raise him from the dead, from which, figuratively speaking, he did receive him back.
[Jhn 1:29 ESV] 29 The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
[Gen 22:9 ESV] 9 When they came to the place of which God had told him, Abraham built the altar there and laid the wood in order and bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood.
3. (Genesis 22:10-14) God’s merciful reprieve.
[Gen 22:14 ESV] 14 So Abraham called the name of that place, "The LORD will provide"; as it is said to this day, "On the mount of the LORD it shall be provided."
[Gen 22:8 ESV] 8 Abraham said, "God will provide for himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son." So they went both of them together.
