Like Abraham Faithful

A holy example
of Abraham on the mountain
taking Isaac
as he was commanded
preparing to sacrifice
his only son

Like Abraham faithful
God sending the son
down from heaven
to walk the land
to go to Calvary
prepared to sacrifice
his son for you and me

Genesis 22:1-19
Abraham faithful in sacrificing
his first born son Isaac,
God providing substitute lamb;
Christ becoming the sacrificial lamb
with no substitution;
the pain of the Father on Good Friday
when his son died for us.
&
Hebrews 10:1-14
Christ was the one priest able to make
one sacrifice for all time
&
John 11:32-44
John 11:35
“Jesus wept” for his friend Lazarus,
though he knew he would rise
&
Jeremiah 31:15
Rachel crying for her children
who are no more
