The Sacrificed Son
Christ Is On Every Page
On Sunday Pastor Eric preached on the sacrifice of Isaac from Genesis 22:1-24. This story speaks clearly of the Christ-centered nature of the bible. Abraham is called by God to sacrifice his only son, the one through whom all the promises of God would come to pass. Abraham’s obedience is praised by God, “for now I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.” Yet God did what Abraham was spared from. God provided a ram as a substitute for Isaac, but there was no animal or person who could take Jesus’ place. He was the one and only sacrifice for our sins. We now know that God loves us because he did not withhold his son, his only son, from us.
