Damage was estimated a $1. rn If you go lo Jerusalem today and visit the beautiful Dome of the Rock, guides will show you a huge rock surrounded by a railing and will tell you that the rock is Mt. Moriah, the spot upon which Abraham stood ready to sacrifice his son. Isaac. Whether or not it is actually the spot of the great event, one cannot help but be moved as he contemplates the significant drama that was probably played out at that location. It was one of the great high moments of man's religious history. Religion "turned" an important "corner." as we say. Scholars and others will argue whether God actually asked Abraham to sacrifice his son. Some maintain that Abraham only thought God wanted him to do this becau* he saw his Canaanite neighbors doing it. Either way the point of the story is pretty much the same. Whetker Abraham only thought that's what God wanted or whether he correctly surmised it. the important point is that he was willing to sacrifice for his God the one possession which was above all others: his only son. Once before God had tested this man, calling him to leave his home country for a strange land he had never seen. Abraham had responded to this challenge with an obedient faith. But this test was even greater. Abraham / and Sarah had been childless taitil Abraham reached his ninety-nintn year. Then, at last, they had a child, a male heir, the heir through which God would fulfill his promise to make Abraham and Sarah the father and mother of a whole multitude of peoples. . So, Isaac was not only Abraham's son, he was his only son, the gilt froir God in his old age. Abraham murt certainly have wondered how he could possibly make this supreme sacrifice to God. It was his greatest teit of faith! There is some rich symbolic neaning in this story. For example. Abraham lays the firewood for the acrifice on Isaac's back and one is reminded of Jesus carrying his own cross to Calvary. ~" There is Isaac asking in wonder, "Behold the fire and the wood; but where is the lamb for a burnt offering" (Genesis 22:7). One is reminded of Jesus, sacrificed as "the Lamb of God who takest away the sins of the world." There is also Abraham's enigmatic answer: "God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering" (22:8). And that's what God did: for Abraham and for all of us. On Mt. Moriah God provided a ram to serve as a sacrifice instead of Isaac and on Mt. Calvary he provided his own son as a sacrafice instead of all mankind. Thus, in the story ot Abraham and Isaac we find a theme that is repeated again and again in the Bible and life since them: God tests us to determine the strength of our commitment to him. but when we have demonstrated our loyalty to him, it is God himself who provides the sacrifice. On Mt. Moriah Abraham learned a profound religious lesson: what God wants from us is not vain sacrifice, but our very deepest commitment and obedience: ". . . for now I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me" (22:12).
