God's Incredible Sacrifice
Manage episode 157517314 series 1224697
Genesis 22 is one of the most misunderstood
texts in all of Scripture. Modern skeptics teach
that our God encourages infanticide, even
though Leviticus, Jeremiah, 2 Kings, Psalms and
Ezekiel all condemn the practice. God’s testing of
Abraham was a foreshadowing of the gift that he
would give us in Jesus. Our salvation required
God to make the ultimate sacrifice in giving His
son Jesus to us. Abraham’s faith and fear of God
are tested in this passage that reveals to us the
love of the Father for you and for me. (Genesis 22)
