Sermon Scripture: Genesis 22:1-14 (NLT)

There are realities that push and pull in this passage. They are the testing of God and the provision of God. A command is given that is in contradiction to a promise that had previously been given (Isaac was the embodiment of God’s promise to Abraham for decedents).

There is tension between this promise of life and this word of death. To our modern, sophisticated minds the idea of God testing us seems primitive. Whether God actively does the testing or not is uncertain. What is certain is that we are given numerous opportunities each day to walk in the way of Jesus or not.
