\u201cThen Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son.\u201d<\/em>
\u202d\u202dGenesis\u202c \u202d22\u202c:\u202d13\u202c<\/strong><\/em><\/p>

In Genesis 22, we read the familiar account of Abraham taking his beloved son Isaac up the mountain to worship. Abraham carried the fire, and Isaac carried the wood\u2014but they did not have a lamb. God had instructed Abraham to offer up his son, a test of Abraham\u2019s faith, obedience, and love toward God.<\/p>

In verse 7, Isaac asks, \u201cWhere is the lamb for a burnt offering?\u201d<\/em><\/p>

This is the first time in the Bible that the word “lamb” appears! We can only imagine how deeply this question pierced Abraham\u2019s heart as he responded, \u201cMy son, God will provide Himself the lamb for a burnt offering.\u201d<\/em><\/p>

Isaac asked the question\u2014and John the Baptist answered it years later, declaring:<\/p>

\u201cBehold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!\u201d<\/em> John 1:29<\/p><\/blockquote>

As Abraham laid Isaac on the altar and lifted the knife\u2014about to thrust it into the son of his love\u2014the Angel of the Lord called to him from heaven, saying, \u201cAbraham, Abraham!\u201d<\/em><\/p>

He replied, \u201cHere I am.\u201d<\/em><\/p>

And the Angel said:<\/p>

\u201cDo not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>

Abraham lifted his eyes, and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. So Abraham took the ram and offered it as a burnt offering instead of his son.<\/p>

Abraham then called the name of that place The-Lord-Will-Provide, as it is said to this day: \u201cIn the Mount of the Lord it shall be provided.\u201d<\/em><\/p>

For Isaac, there was a substitute\u2014caught by its strength in the thorns. This reminds us that, in the strength of His perfect love and obedience, the Lord Jesus conquered sin, death, and the grave. He was our substitute.<\/p>

The burnt offering speaks of the glory of the Father, and the substitutionary ram points to our redemption:<\/p>

\u201c…knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold… but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.\u201d <\/em>1 Peter 1:18\u201319<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>

\u201cFor Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God…\u201d <\/em>1 Peter 3:18<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>

Ankerpunt voor vandaag:<\/strong>
At the cross, Christ, the holy spotless lamb, stood in the place of guilty sinners and bore the judgement of God as our Substitute.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
