Genesis 22:19-22 (part 2) Three important ways to look at this story of the Binding of Isaac. What were Isaac and Abraham each thinking as they watched the substitute ram being consumed on the altar? How is the Lord's promise to Abraham at Moriah different from the other several times He has given these promises. What does all of this have to do with you and me? How does Hebrews 6 help us understand this incident? What are the two sets of types we see in this account?

Genesis 22:9-19 Continuing our study of the "Binding of Isaac," we consider the contrast of the two figures walking together up that mountain in Moriah. What is the contrast of these two? How did this experience affect their relationship? Clearly we are to understand the greatness of Abraham's personal struggle and sacrifice, but what else is it clear that Abraham was thinking. At what point did Abraham consider his son to be dead? Fatalistic faith and pollyanna faith.

Genesis 22:1-8 We come now to the climax of the story of Abraham's life, what is sometimes called "The Binding Of Isaac." Abraham's happy existence in the fulfillment of God's promise is brutally interrupted by God's instruction to him to offer his son as a burnt offering on a distant mountain. What is God doing? Why does God identify the object of the burnt offering four different ways? What is the nature of our tests? Why does this narrative contain so many repetitions and seemingly unimportant details? What are three lessons to be learned from Abraham's struggle? How does this story relate to Jesus' words to Nicodemus in John 3?
