"Father?"
"Yes, my son?"
"The fire and wood are here, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?"
"God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son."
While preparing for the lesson on the covenants, this verse jumped out at me. I'm not quite sure how Abraham arrived at the statement "God himself will provide the lamb" but it sure is prophetic. Neither do I know how far I can push this, seeing that Isaac is the offspring who will inherit the promise, while Jesus is the seed who will become the lamb.
When I'm hurt or when I sacrifice, let me keep this all in mind.
God himself will provide the lamb.
Furthermore,
He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all--how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
Because You have provided the lamb, I will entrust everything to You.
