Abraham and Isaac A father, a son,
and a sacrifice
Abraham and Sarah had a baby boy,
just as the Lord promised.
They named him Isaac.
They loved Isaac.
They taught him to choose the
right and to trust the Lord.
The Lord promised Abraham and
Sarah that through Isaac
their family would grow to bless
the whole earth.
But one day the Lord told Abraham
to take Isaac to Mount Moriah
and offer Isaac as a sacrifice.
On their way to the mountain,
Isaac asked where the lamb for the sacrifice was.
Abraham said the Lord would
provide one.
On Mount Moriah, Abraham built an
altar and placed wood on it.
As the Lord commanded, Abraham
asked Isaac to lie down on the altar.
Isaac trusted Abraham just like
the Savior Jesus Christ trusted His Father.
When Abraham was about to
sacrifice Isaac, an angel of the Lord stopped him.
Abraham showed his faith in the
Lord.
Abraham knew he would always
follow the Lord.
Abraham looked up and saw a ram
caught in the bushes.
The Lord provided the ram for the
sacrifice.
Abraham and Isaac learned about
how Heavenly Father would offer His Son Jesus Christ as a
sacrifice.
The Lord Jesus Christ trusted
Abraham because he obeyed.
Abraham trusted the Lord’s promise
that one day his family would grow beyond the number of
stars in the sky.
