This morning we look at how Jesus is the true and better Abraham. Abraham's call to leave the comfort of his home and trust in God's promises points directly to Jesus' ultimate obedience and sacrifice. God's promise to bless all nations through Abraham is fulfilled in Jesus, the true seed of Abraham. Jesus provides the ultimate assurance that not only Abraham, but also we, will have an eternal home. As we follow Jesus, we live by faith, trusting in God's fulfilled promises and looking forward to our eternal inheritance.

Jesus is the true and better Isaac, who was not just offered up by his father on the mount but was truly sacrificed for us all. god said to Abraham "Now I know you love me, because you did not withhold your son, your only son whom you love, from me." Now we can say to God, "Now we know that you love us, because you did not withhold your son, your only son whom you love, from us."

The True and Better Isaac

The story of Abraham and Isaac is often one of the most difficult stories for us to understand. Yet in this story we see God’s plan of salvation unfolding as it leads us to see the sacrifice of Jesus. We can trust the promises of God because of what Jesus has done.

The True and Better Isaac

So many of the stories and the narrative of the Old Testament informed the people of the day but also foreshadowed the hope to come. This account of Abraham being called to sacrifice his son, Isaac, is disturbing but also speaks clearly of the hope for a Messiah. Jesus Christ accomplished what no other sacrifice ever could.
