Abraham & the Only Begotten..

If you’re a Bible reader, what comes to mind when you think of Abraham? What are the big events in Abraham’s life? He was called out of Ur and Babel in Mesopotamia. He received God’s promise to be blessed and to BE a blessing to all nations. He received the promised son and heir and then… that big moment, the watershed, crisis-experience for Abraham – the sacrifice of Isaac.

So, let’s look at:
#1 – the event itself – this is the third or fourth event in Abraham’s life given as an example of faith – let’s think about it.

#2 – let’s ask, “What IS it, IN the event/action, that we’re meant to notice and that exemplifies faith? (What we’ve called “the highlighted feature”.)

#3 – how are WE to follow this example, how to practice this highlighted feature in our own pattern of believing?
