This lesson from Genesis 22–23 highlights Abraham’s great test of faith when God commands him to sacrifice his beloved son, Isaac. Abraham demonstrates complete trust in God, believing in either divine provision or Isaac's resurrection. At the last moment, God intervenes, providing a ram as a substitute sacrifice, foreshadowing Jesus as the ultimate Lamb of God who would take away the sins of the world. The narrative underscores themes of obedience, trust, and God's faithfulness, while pointing to the redemptive work of Christ on the cross. Abraham's purchase of land to bury Sarah further reflects his faith in God's promises of future blessings and land for his descendants.
