Sacrifice
[Chapter: Living]My friend shared this clip with me 2 days ago and I would like to share it with you too. It plays the tune of a song titled Sacrifice (one of my favorites) by Bob Fitts with scenes from the movies ‘Abraham’ + ‘Passion of Christ’.
God gave Abraham and his wife a son when they were very old. One day God asked Abraham to go up to a mountain to sacrifice Issac, his son, as a burnt offering. Abraham was faithful and obeyed. When he was about to slay his own son, an angel of God stopped him.
God’s plan for a sacrifice was Jesus Christ and that sacrifice is to save us. The sacrifice on the cross didn’t end in death but victory over death because Christ rose from the dead.
This was the message back then and still is the message today and will always be.
I pray that this message of God’s love and redemption of man will touch your heart and bear significance in your life.
And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.” Genesis 22:7-8
