So the offering of Isaac as a sacrifice was a portend of the sacrifices that would be later offered in the temple, sacrifices to cleanse people of their sins.  These sacrifices paved the way for the ultimate sacrifice.  The sacrifices by men demonstrated the need for a Savior – none of them were lasting; none of them were absolute.  Only Jesus was able to absolve us of our grief and sin. Jehovah Jireh provided for His people the Way to healing and wholeness and reconciliation with the Father.

On page 66 and 67, KA writes: “It is appointed unto men once to die” (Hebrews 9:27, KJV) “He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him” (John 3:36).  What will it be?  Life or death? What provision has been made for your sins?  Will it satisfy God?

Here is what I wrote:

God has provided Jesus’ perfect sacrifice for my sins so that I might have life eternal.  In addition, in this life, I am able to live in peace because I am not alone…I am comforted; I am befriended by Jesus; I am adopted by the Holy Father.  Bless the Lord, O my soul and all that is within me bless His Holy Name!
