Sacrifice

Genesis 22: 1-2
Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied.
Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you.”

Here God was asking Abraham to do something very critical. Abraham is called to sacrifice his own child Isaac, the one he loves so dearly.
As Abraham obeyed the command from the Lord and took a step, God Himself came not only to save the child’s life by providing a lamb for the sacrifice but God also blessed Abraham.
God Himself sacrificed his only Son for you and me so we can be saved.
For this holy week that will end up with celebration of the death and the resurrection of Jesus Christ, I would like to tell you this; “God is asking you to sacrifice something very important to you. Check your life and you will find something that very well please your flesh but does not please God. For example: an addiction, fornication, adultery, slander, ….. You will be blessed if you do.
