UNIFYING LESSON PRINCIPLE: People are reluctant to make challenging personal sacrifices for fear of losing everything. How can they learn to offer difficult sacrifices even in the face of fear? By being willing to offer his son, Abraham learned to trust God, who provided everything he needed.
CONCLUDING REFLECTION: Abraham’s trust in God was demonstrated by his obedience. It has often been said that our actions speak louder than our words. Abraham’s experience can be used as an example for contemporary Christians to emulate. The more we place our trust in God, the more God will make a way for us. Would you be willing to sacrifice your most precious relationship or possession if God requested it?
PRAYER: Thank you, LORD, for the marvelous example of Abraham. We want to always stay open to any request you may have of us. “Take my life and let it be consecrated, LORD, to Thee.” In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
