Language of God | Episode 8: Sacrifice- Love That Gives Until It Hurts

What does sacrifice really mean? Is it just loss, ritual, or duty—or does it reveal something deeper about God’s love?In Hebrew, the words are זֶבַח – zevach (ZEH-vakh), a slaughtered offering | עוֹלָה – olah (oh-LAH), a burnt offering of total surrender | קָרְבָּן – korban (kor-BAHN), something brought near to God.In Greek, the words are θυσία – thysia (thoo-SEE-ah), an offering laid down | προσφορά – prosphora (pros-pho-RAH), a gift presented to God.In this episode, we journey to Mount Moriah with Abraham and Isaac, watch the ram provided in the thicket, and see how every Old Testament sacrifice pointed to the once-for-all offering of Jesus Christ.Discover that sacrifice isn’t about endless death, it’s about one death that brings endless life. It’s not about obligation, it’s the language of love that paid the highest price to bring us near.Genesis 22:1–14 | Leviticus 17:11 | Hebrews 9:11–12 | Hebrews 10:11–12 | Romans 8:32 | Romans 12:1
