-

God never intended
Isaac to DIE.

6. God was TESTING
Abraham to see if he
really loved God most.
(Gen 22:1) This was not
his first test, but was
the TOUGHEST!

7. Abraham did not object
or question or hesitate
or whine. He OBEYED
God, because he
TRUSTED God

said God
Himself
would
provide it.

14. He prepared an altar

15. He bound
Isaac and
laid him
on the
altar

16. Isaac SUBMITTED to his
father; he could have
resisted.

17. Abraham considered
his son “as DEAD” for 3
days, but he believed
God’s could raise him
from the dead if

He passed the test

STOPPED him and
provided a RAM (22:13)
as a substitute- to die
and shed its blood.

19. The ram was caught in

a SACRIFICE, the Lamb
of God as our
substitute.

THORNS on his head.

31. His blood
was the
perfect
atonement
and took
away our
sins

THREE days
He rose from the dead
on the third day in
victory over death.

33. God has painted a
picture of our Messiah-
Savior in the story of
the offering of Isaac. It
is a prophecy of the
supreme sacrifice
which was given for all
mankind.

34. Messiah Jesus was
willing to suffer, bleed
and die for you and me
today.

followers to be
TOTALLY DEDICATED to

to this world. Be SET
APART- HOLY,

the renewing of your
mind- changed from
the inside out.

40. WHY?
Because of His MERCY.
Rom. 12:1
