HIMSELF

Abraham was asked of God to give up his son for a burning sacrifice. To give up whom he loved the most before God, as a test of his obedience. God would have never allowed Abraham's child to be burned, but because of his willingness to obey, God provided instead a ram, which was caught in a thicket for a burning sacrifice.

In the scriptures there's a clever wordplay which reads "God will 'provide Himself' a lamb for a burnt offering." This is the substitutionary sacrifice, alluding to the slain lamb for all humanity; the Lord Jesus Christ.

This piece, explores what Abraham might have gone through, fulfilling such a request by God. Abraham and his son Isaac walk the mountainous terrain, navigating the valley between.
