#104 - Kyle Thompson // Take Your Only Son

The Daily Blade: Joby Martin & Kyle Thompson

We begin our week-long journey to Golgotha by examining its Old Testament foundations in the story of Abraham and Isaac on Mount Moriah. The crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus form the bedrock of Christianity, but understanding their significance requires exploring biblical history that points to this ultimate sacrifice.
• Abram's journey begins in Genesis 12 when God promises to make him a great nation
• Abraham and Sarah wait decades for their promised son Isaac, born when Abraham was 100
• Genesis 22 presents Abraham with an unthinkable test: sacrifice his beloved son Isaac
• Contrary to popular depictions, Isaac was likely a teenager or young adult during this event
• Abraham carries the mental burden of his son's sacrifice for three days
• Isaac unknowingly carries the wood for his own sacrifice, asking "where is the lamb?"
• This story foreshadows Jesus carrying his cross to Golgotha centuries later
Join us tomorrow as we continue this powerful story and discover what happens when Abraham and Isaac reach the top of Mount Moriah.
