1 Connecting Through the Word Abraham The Ultimate Sacrifice, His Only Son Hebrews 11:17-19 Hebrews 11: By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, 18 of whom it was said, "In Isaac your seed shall be called," 19 concluding that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead, from which he also received him in a figurative sense. Genesis 22: After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, Abraham! And he said, Here I am. 2 He said, Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you. 3 So Abraham rose early in the morning, saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and his son Isaac. And he cut the wood for the burnt offering and arose and went to the place of which God had told him. 4 On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place from afar. 5 Then Abraham said to his young men, Stay here with the donkey; I and the boy will go over there and worship and come again to you. 6 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son. And he took in his hand the fire and the knife. So they went both of them together. 7 And Isaac said to his father Abraham, My father! And he said, Here I am, my son. He said, Behold, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering? 8 Abraham said, God will provide for himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son. So they went both of them together. 9 When they came to the place of which God had told him, Abraham built the altar there and laid the wood in order and bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. 10 Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son. 11 But the angel of the LORD called to him from heaven and said, Abraham, Abraham! And he said, Here I am. 12 He said, Do not lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him, for now I know that you fear God,

2 seeing you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me. 13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him was a ram, caught in a thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his son. 14 So Abraham called the name of that place, The LORD will provide ; as it is said to this day, On the mount of the LORD it shall be provided. Abraham s Faith!!!!! The great lesson we learn from Abraham is the lesson of faith. What is faith What does it mean to live by faith How to know the true and living God How to worship and please this great God Only by faith!!!!!! God chose Abraham who was an idol worshipper in the midst of a pagan world and make him the father of a nation and the father of the faithful!!!! He placed him in a piece of territory that was the crossroads of the world Biblical Faith is rooted and based on the Word of God When God spoke to Abraham he obeyed. Abraham met and experienced a Covenant God. Today we are going to look at Genesis 18 to 22 as we continue to learn the lessons of faith from this Father of the Faithful Abraham. In Chapter 18 we find Abraham at 99 years old patiently waiting at the door of his tent in the heat of the day. Abraham Receives a Visit from Jehovah in the form of Three Men. Abraham Serves Them under the Tree. Resting under the Tree. Our rest in found in Jesus under His Tree of Calvary!!!!! We have Salvation Rest! We have Serving Rest! Jehovah reassures Abraham and Sarah of His promise of a son with a specific time next year. Sarah laughed and said to herself.. Then Jehovah repeated it to Abraham.

3 God knows what you are thinking.. One of the great statements of God in the Bible found here in the form of a question, Is anything too hard (wonderful) for the Lord? God reveals to Abraham His plans to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah. Abraham loves Lot and intercedes for him. Genesis 19 God rescues Lot and destroys Sodom and Gomorrah. Lot started out looking toward Sodom.. (13:10) Then he moved his tent toward Sodom (13:12) Lot is sitting in the gate of Sodom (19:1) 2 Peter 2:7 And delivered righteous Lot, who was oppressed by the filthy conduct of the wicked Lot Lost His Faith and His Testimony Lot Lost His Family Lot Lost His Fortune Lot has two sons by incest with his daughters. Moab becomes father of the Moabites (19:37) Ben-ammi - becomes father of the Ammonites (19:38) Genesis 20 Reveals another failure of Abraham. An interesting and difficult chapter to understand. This chapter ends with Abraham praying and his prayer being answered! Genesis 21 Abraham and Sarah finally have the promised son!!!! Isaac is born. Abraham is 100 years old Sarah is 90 years old. Sarah sees Ismael laughing, mocking, scoffing at Isaac. For a few minutes think about the root of bitterness that springs up here in this situation. Sarah should have been the most blessed and happy lady ever at this time. But instead of seeing the positive and the blessings, she sees the negative and gets a critical condemning and vindictive spirit.

4 Where did this root of bitterness come from? Maybe years earlier. When she was put in a position by her husband and was asked to lie about who she was When she tested Abraham by telling him he could go in to Hagar to have a son he should have said no!!!! Did this disappoint and hurt her Bitterness occurs when an offence against us happens or an expectation we have is not met. And instead of taking it to the Lord and seeking His grace to forgive the offender we let it sit deep inside us and from time to time we water it and feed it more hurtful thoughts. Sarah ask Abraham to get rid of his son Ismael and the slave woman. Hebrews 12:15 See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled; When we have been hurt and have become bitter we then do things to hurt others by saying things, doing things and as a result many others get drawn into the conflict and many are defiled. And the circle gets bigger and bigger and is repeated over and over until, who knows, how many people are hurt, damaged and pay the consequences of our bitterness. The conflict between the seed of Isaac and Ismael continues till today!!!!!! Please receive the Grace of God. Up to this point, Abraham has gone from place to place experience many failures and conflict both in his family and with others around him. But now as this chapter ends, vs. 33, Abraham plants a tamarisk tree and called there upon the name of the LORD El Olam The Everlasting God. The God who never changes. Remember this name of God speaks of His Permanence! That brings us to Genesis Chapter 22 Satan tempts us to bring out the worst in us God tests us to help bring out the best in us

5 Lot was never tested in this way. Abraham was strong in faith at this time in his life. Remember Job and his testing.. 1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it. Notice several things about Abraham in this chapter. Abraham Listening: Here I am at least three times Vs. 1, God spoke and Abraham replied, Here I am Vs. 7. Isaac asked and Abraham replied, Here I am Vs. 11, The angel of the LORD, Abraham, Abraham, and Abraham replied, Here I am. Are you listening to God, to your family, to others? Abraham Obeys Immediately without question. Mt. Moriah same mountain that Jerusalem is built on. Same mountain Jesus would be crucified on. Notice the similarities of this passage and the death of Jesus Christ. Thy only son vs. 2, 12 & 16 Jesus is called, only begotten Son John 1:18; 3:16 & 18 Hebrews 11:17 Isaac called only begotten son Vs. 2 first time word love shows up in the Bible The Father s love for His Son.. John 3:35 & 5:20 Next time word love shows up is in Genesis 24:67 Isaac loved Rebekah his wife Husband wife love Isaac asks, where is the lamb for the sacrifice This is first time lamb is mentioned in the Bible Goes to the mountain God shows him.

6 Genesis 22:8 (KJV) And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together. John 1:29 The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! John 1:35-36 The next day again John was standing with two of his disciples, and he looked at Jesus as he walked by and said, Behold, the Lamb of God! God Himself becomes the Lamb In Exodus 12 we see the Passover Lamb that sheds it blood which is put on the lintel and the door post so that when the night of judgment comes the death angel will Passover the home and the first born will not die. At the last minute, Abraham is stopped from sacrificing his son and is shown a substitute ram caught in the thicket This is teaching the substitutionary death of Jesus Christ for our sins. This is the place to learn how to get rid of bitterness. We must receive God s grace of forgiveness for our sins. We must give God s grace to those who offend or hurt us and forgive them as we have been forgiven!! That s why Hebrews 11 is follow by Hebrews 12 Hebrews 12:1-2 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

7 Have you ever noticed how many times in the very last book of the Bible, Revelation, Jesus is called the Lamb. Over 22 times!!!!!!!!! Lamb that was slain. Two times blood of the Lamb Two times In Genesis 22 we meet God with a new name: Jehovah Jireh In the mount of the LORD He will be seen Jehovah Provides Today we take the LORD S Supper the Passover We prepare for the Easter Season We come to the Table where we are reminded of the Lamb and His sacrifice on the Cross!!!!!!
