Sermon for Judica, the Fifth Sunday in Lent

You could answer, well – it was only a test! Yes it was a test, but Abraham could not know that. Just like you don’t know the outcome of whatever you are going through in your life, but must trust in God to guide with His Word. Abraham knew that God promised that this son, his only son, Isaac, would be the father of a great nation. He also knew that God wanted him to sacrifice the boy. There could only be one conclusion for Abraham, he must do what God says and keep His word. God would be responsible to sort out the rest.
