A Promise Tested (Genesis 21-22)

God gave Abraham and Sarah a great promise and they finally saw that promise fulfilled. But there was a test... It's startling, and a bit troubling to say the least. But Abraham has come to the place where the hope and wonder that he has in the God who called him, who has blessed him, and who has promised him this son. His faith is strong in the midst of the test.

What God asked of Abraham was a foreshadowing of what God himself in Jesus Christ would do.
