ABRAHAM

MODULE 5: SESSION 24: Abraham Surrenders Isaac

Avraham’s test on the mountain mirrors the humans’ test in the garden. But where the man and woman fail, Avraham succeeds. Avraham’s act of total surrender and trust in God is directly attributed to the fear of the Lord. The narrator connects this moment to the later practice of sacrifice in the temple, which involves an act of surrender and the trust that God will take care of the rest.
