the Story: on their way

 the Story: on their way by ric gustafson


Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac. Abraham waited 25 years for the birth of his son. God had promised Abraham an heir. Isaac was the key to the fulfillment of God's covenant. Abraham was going to carry the fire and the knife.
" The fire and wood are here". Isaac looked at his father. " But where is the lamb for the burnt offering?". 
God was now asking Abraham to sacrifice the precious blessing of his son. 
Abraham looked at his son. " God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering my son".
Then Abraham looked toward Moriah. Then the two started toward the unthinkable.
