This is the Discovery GAME, where we discover spiritual truths through storytelling.
Father of Faith, Part 2
- God tested Abraham. “Abraham!”
- “Here I am,” he replied.
- “Take your only son, whom you love—Isaac.
- And sacrifice him as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you.”
- And Abraham set out with his son Isaac early the next morning.
- As they went, Isaac spoke up. “Father?
- The fire and wood are here, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”
- Abraham answered, “God will provide the lamb."
- When they arrived, Abraham built an altar.
- He bound his son Isaac and laid him on it.
- And he took out the knife to slay his son.
- But the angel of the Lord called from heaven,
- “Here I am,” he replied.
- “Do not lay a hand on the boy,
- Now I know that you fear God,
- Because you have not withheld your only son.”
- Abraham looked up and saw a ram caught in a bush by its horns.
- He took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son.
- So Abraham called that place The Lord Will Provide.
- The angel of the Lord spoke again,
- “Because you have not withheld your only son,
- I will make your descendants as numerous as the sand on the seashore.
- Through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me.”
