The (Almost) Sacrifice of Isaac

June 16, 2024 • Todd Core

In the Akedah test (the binding of Isaac), Abraham faced a test of devotion to determine whether he desired the blessings of God more than he desired God Himself. This account has key threads to the New Testament: the one and only Son, the substitute ram, and the blessing fulfilled in Christ. Have you lifted your eyes to see the Lord's provision for your salvation?

"Look" Is the Gospel

John Greene • John 3:14–16, Numbers 21:4–9

Many historical events of the Old Testament are pictures or types of New Testament truth. The brass serpent on a pole (Numbers 21) is a type of Christ—all who look are delivered from death!
