A scene from The Bible Mini-Series.

My 10 year old daughter has been reading the Bible and she read this chapter tonight. I had the pleasure of showing this to her after she read it. I asked her, "Where do you see Jesus in this?" And she replied "The lamb" It was awesome being able to use this video to illustrate how Jesus became the sacrifice in our place.

This was one of the most tear-jerking moments for me in this series.  In this single moment, God demonstrated to Abraham that He alone was supreme.  That it was His alone to command life and death.  You know it had to hurt Abraham terribly but he knew that God had reasons that were His alone.  Abraham proved he trusted God, and for his faith, God made him father of a nation.

Lord, forgive me.. especially when my faith is weak..we thankyou and praise.. humbly forgive me Lord. AMEN

This has always been the hardest story for me to read in the Bible. It wasn't until I learned that God actually despises child sacrifice that I realized He would never have let Abraham hurt Isaac in the first place. It was all purely a test of faith after all.

The Father Himself, however, would be willing to give His Son as a sacrifice for the sins of all humanity. It was all part of His plan to restore creation.

The lord will provide a sacrifice
Jesus was the provided sacrifice

To understand this scene you first need to understand the seriousness of what sin is in God' perspective. If the result of "sin is death" (which is why the state of death exist in this world) then to truly escape from sin is to have an alternative solution that is equal to the result of death which the only way is through a "blood sacrifice" (making someone else die to pay for your sins). God speaks in parables and there is a hidden truth to this scene, when God told Abraham to sacrifice (blood sacrifice) his son, HE wanted Abraham to know what it feels like to sacrifice your own son for sin. But before Abraham plunged the knife into Isaac God shouted at Abraham to stop him and HE said "I WILL PROVIDE". And HE did, HIS son JESUS CHRIST.

I’m always in awe of how layered these stories are. Whether you believe or don’t believe you can always find meaning in these stories, and it was probably especially meaningful for ancient people. This moment especially shows the pain Abraham and fathers like him must go through, as nothing is more painful than the death of a child especially if you are the one to blame. It also is a great contrast to the mentality that the older and younger generation always have to be at each other’s throat. Generation after generation you hear people saying the new generation is ruining everything and if you get rid of them things will be alright. Well here God gives Abraham the choice to do it, and instead of joy the scene shows Abraham in pain as any real father would. And then in one felt swoop God reverses the story of generational conflict saying this shouldn’t be the way we treat each other and it’s not for a father to wipe out the son

Wow, this scene had me crying, it has alot deeper meaning as my personal life with Christ grows daily.🙏😭

[Mark_E_M]

This scene is so powerful and well done! The faith that it took for Abraham to trust that God had a plan even in this was SO AMAZING!!!

[ichigo]

Such a powerful scene and great example of the huge amount of faith Abraham had in God. May we all strive to have faith like this! Very beautifully done ❤

1 Of the hardest Tests in life . We must give worldly things to prove to God he Comes First in our Lives . Just as Abraham was willing to give his Son back to God

[Ghiblifan]

when God allows temptation to come into our lives He doesnt do it so that He can gain knowledge about us but rather so that we might gain knowledge about ourselves God knew what abraham would do but both abraham and isaac needed to learn from their own choices in life and they needed to learn about the theological value of the sacrificial lamb I cant believe that some people who have left comments before dont see this of course God knows the future time is the canvas God does His paintings on

[mrp]

I cried and cried when the Lamb showed up. Praise YAH! He provided!

[pierrethehandsome]

Man.. I actually shed a tear from this

[bellarob]

Can we ever see a man like Abraham who has so much faith in God? 😢😢😢😢 I just can’t stop crying. Oh Lord have mercy on me.

[chocolatethundercherry]

Abraham trusted and loved GOD so much he believed if he sacrificed his son . GOD would rise him up from the dead and they would pray again . That’s such superior beautiful faith .

[yayocep]

Wonderful merciful savior! I deserve to die for my sins. Then God brings a lamb for my sins. Grace is Greater than all our sins.

[joedanns]

This story and scene is so clear to understand.

There could be no possible way God would want the death of Isaac or any human. Therefore...

God was testing Abraham to see how far he would go, to be the father of a nation. God is love and had Abraham killed his son, he would have failed the test. God intended all along for the goat to be the sacrifice.

Clearly some people need to read the story and get an education tom understand it better.

[Robert]

A foreshadowing of what the Lord did for us sacrificing his son Jesus.

Thank you so much for this. I am doing a summary on this and I couldn't find the exact film we were watching in class, and this is it! Thank you!
