Here: I AM

In the final message of our series on Genesis, we explore the challenging story of Abraham's test, where God commands him to sacrifice his son Isaac. This narrative, found in Genesis 22, raises difficult questions about the nature of God and the type of faith required of His followers. Abraham's journey up into the mountains of Moriah, his unwavering obedience, and his belief that God would "see to it" all point to a deeper understanding of faith. It's not merely about human willpower or blind obedience, but a trust in God's provision and character. Ultimately, this climax moment of Abraham's story foreshadows God's own sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ, and invites us to see the cross as the ultimate expression of God's love and faithfulness.
