What this episode covers

Most people read the story of Abraham and Isaac as a troubling test of obedience—but the biblical account reveals something far deeper. Why would God ask Abraham to sacrifice the very son through whom the covenant promises were to be fulfilled?Learn what this powerful test means for believers today, and how the “binding of Isaac” foreshadows the greatest sacrifice ever made.- - - - - - - - - -If you benefited from this production and would like to offer a contribution, please visit our sponsor, Scripture Central, to make a donation.
