Genesis 22

The Establishment of a Covenant People: The Promises of…

Genesis 22:1-24The Lord Will Provide Now if you have your Bibles I'd invite you to turn with me to Genesis, chapter 22. Surely we realize tonight that we have come to holy ground when we come to this passage. This passage is unique in all the scriptures. F.B. Meyer rightly said of it: “So long as men live in this world, they will turn to this story with unwaning interest. There is only one scene in history by which it is surpassed; that where the Great Father gave His Isaac to a death from which there was no deliverance.” Indeed, in this passage Abraham's surrender of his son is a mirror of God's still greater love and his exercise of faith in God's promises leads him to a glimpse of resurrection hope. Isaac's potential suffering also gives us a preview of the son…

Nine Lessons and Carols – Christmas Assurance

The Establishment of a Covenant People: The Promises of…

Genesis 22:15-24 The Covenant Assured Last week we concentrated on the first half of this chapter, verses 1 through 14, and we said that Abraham's surrender of his son Isaac was a mirror of God's still greater love, and Abraham's exercise of faith in God's promises. Hebrews tells us he believed that the Lord would raise Isaac again from the dead if necessary to fulfill His promises. Abraham's exercise of faith in God's promises leads him to a glimpse of the resurrection hope. And Isaac's own resignation and potential suffering, too, gives us a preview of the Son who would be sacrificed for the sins of the world. And tonight we look to the sequel of that grand substitution on Moriah in Genesis 22, verses 15 through 24. But let's go back and begin from the…
