Genesis 22 - Abraham’s Big Test

We see in this chapter a prophetic reenactment of what Jesus will do almost 2,000 years later on that same mountain to give his life as a substitute for humanity. God tells Abraham to take his beloved son Isaac and make a 3 day journey to a specific mountain that he will show him. Along this journey, God tests Abraham in at least three ways. 1. Will he withhold the thing he loves the most or will he offer it to the Lord? 2. Will he walk by faith or by what he can see? 3. Will he listen to the voice of the Lord and see life or ignore it and bring death? Abraham passes all three tests and is blessed by the Lord!
