Text: Genesis 22:1-14
What would you be willing to give up for the cause of Christ? Following the Lord is costly and in Genesis 22 we see that God puts Abraham to the test. God calls him to give up his most precious possession - his son Isaac. Through Abraham’s example, we can learn that following the Lord is a call to surrender all that we are and all that we have to Him, and that we must obey Him in all things. There are also many parallels between the sacrifice of Isaac and the cross of Christ, and this passage of Scripture gives us a glimpse into God’s heart and how much it cost the Lord to give up His one and only Son for us.
