Genesis 22:2 (NLT)
Take your son, your only son—yes, Isaac, whom you love so much—and go to the land of Moriah. Go and sacrifice him as a burnt offering on one of the mountains, which I will show you.
Abraham’s decision to sacrifice Isaac always bothered me. How could Abraham sacrifice his son? Why could God even ask?
When I think of this as a foreshadow of our heavenly Father and His Son, it makes sense.
1 John 4:14
… the Father sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.
How could God sacrifice His Son?
Good morning, Lord. You sacrificed Your own Son … for my sake. Jesus, You endured the injustice and pain of the crucifixion while You, heavenly Father, watched. This love is greater than my capacity to understand. My gratitude can never measure up to the cost of my salvation. Amazing love, astonishing grace!
