Today's reading is from Genesis 22, 23, 24
The story of God asking Abraham to sacrifice his son, the promised log-awaited Isaac, is a great picture of Jesus. Read the story and think about the parallels between this story and Jesus' death on the cross.
Isaac spoke up and said to his father Abraham, "Father?"
"Yes, my son?" Abraham replied.
"The fire and wood are here," Isaac said, "but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?"
Abraham answered, "God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son." And the two of them went on together.
That's the Gospel. God himself has provided the sacrifice - Jesus!
