The story of God ordering Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac is one of the best known in the Old Testament. It may seem terrible at a glance, but when we look closer, we see this as a story about God’s sovereignty and foreshadowing of the ultimate sacrifice God had planned millennia later. We are often quick to say that God is our ruler, but we treat him more as our servant, putting other things at the center of our lives…and that’s not alright with God. It wasn’t easy for Abraham to follow through with God’s command, but God came through, halting Abraham before the necessary sacrifice was made, providing a ram instead. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow Christ Community Chapel for more! --------------------------------------------------------------------- CCChapel App: http://ccchapel.com/app Facebook: https://facebook.com/ccchapel Twitter: https://twitter.com/ccchapel Website: http://ccchapel.com
