The Father's Sacrifice

Series: The Story of Redemption

Category: Gospel, Faith, Character of God

Speaker: Jason Williams

In this sermon, we looked at Genesis 22:1–18 and the powerful story of Abraham offering Isaac on Mount Moriah. This emotional account points us to the incredible generosity of our Heavenly Father, who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all. As Abraham obeyed God's command to offer his beloved son, we see a reflection of the gospel—where God the Father sacrificed His only Son, Jesus, in our place as the ultimate substitute. Just as Isaac carried the wood for his sacrifice and submitted willingly to his father, so Jesus carried the cross and obeyed God completely, even to death. In the same mountain region where God provided a ram for Abraham, He later provided Jesus, the Lamb, to be sacrificed for the world. This story invites us to stand in awe of God's provision, His mercy, and the overwhelming generosity of His love with which He gave His only begotten Son for our redemption.
