Lesson: 117 Lesson Name: Abraham Gives All
Theme: Christ the Substitute Reading: Genesis 22:1-19 Memory Verse: Rom. 8:32
Memory Verse Text: He spared not His own Son. Attention Getter: How do you treat your friends? How did God treat His friend? Point 1: God tests Abraham, His friend, to see if he would now fully rest in His promise.
Point 2: God's test: "Take Isaac, whom thou lovest, and offer him." Even though Abraham left immediately, what a mental struggle must have filled Abraham's mind during that journey!
Point 3: God will provide Himself... Was this statement by Abraham a real grasp of God's ultimate purpose? This thought may be good for discussion if the timing is right.
Point 4: Abraham's obedience: He obeyed in spite of the personal cost involved. Isaac's obedience and compliance: He didn't resist in spite of his concern. Ram provided: God renewed His promises and revealed His purposes to follow. Notes: God never asks us to do something that He is not prepared to do as well. Summary: Love gives its all. Consider how much God was willing to give to save our souls!
