In Genesis 22, God speaks to Abraham after he is tested with the sacrifice of Isaac. This incident was important in Abraham’s life, Isaac’s life, and the lives of their future children. The LORD blessed Abraham with a promise that he would be made into a great nation through Isaac, and a blessing to the entire world. After this blessing, Abraham’s extended family are mentioned. These passages of Scripture may be culturally challenging to us, but they teach us about the nature and character of God. Among other things, we learn that God speaks to us in ways that we will understand. The story of God speaking to Abraham in the sacrifice of Isaac is not only about what physically happened, it also shows us how God interacts with mankind. Let us pay careful attention to the way God acts and responds to men so that we might know Him more and more.
