- My question for each teaching is what does it mean for you today
Introduction:
- Genesis 22 is about how Abraham’s faith is tested
- And this is the forerunner of Jesus
- Abraham didn’t sacrifice Isaac, God provided a lamb
- Jesus, the Son of God was sacrificed, he is the lamb of God
- As I read this reflect on what Jesus has done for us
- And how to want to respond in faith
Bible Reading: Genesis 22
Question: How has God spoken to you throw this well-known passage today?
Conclusion:
- Jesus was obedient to His Father, even to death on a cross
- We need to be like Jesus, we need to be obedient
- We need to follow Jesus, his teachings, his ways
- We need to be who we are called to be
