Sermon Bible Commentary - Genesis 22:10

Genesis 22:10 A temptation had come upon Abraham; he thought that it was the right thing to do, and that he was called to do it; so after brooding over it intensely for several days, he was irresistibly drawn to take the knife for the purpose of slaying his son. I. Since the child of promise had been born to him, his natural tendency had been to repose on Isaac rather than on God. After a while he would awake to the troubled consciousness that it was not with him as in other days; that he had... read more

And Abraham took the wood of the burnt-offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son: and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife: and they went both of them together. And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood; but where is the lamb for a burnt-offering?

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Genesis 22:1-24

Chapter 22Now it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham ( Genesis 22:1 ),Or tested Abraham or proved Abraham. "Let no man, when he is tempted, say that he is tempted of God: because God never tempts a man to do evil" ( James 1:13 ). Our enticements to evil come from our own flesh, the lust of our own flesh. God doesn't tempt you to do evil things. God does test us. Jesus went through great testings and He learned obedience through the things that He suffered.We as... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 22:1-24

Genesis 22:1-18 . God did tempt Abraham, who had now attained the height of all his earthly joys; and seen in Isaac the long-suspended promises fulfilled. He saw nature aided by divine power in his birth, and in his conduct daily proofs of genius, of piety, and filial obedience. The lad everywhere accompanied his aged father, and gained on his affections, not less by his love of virtue than by his other engaging qualities, and hopeful indications of future greatness. In such circumstances... read more

Genesis 22:10Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his sonAbraham’s sacrifice of IsaacI.That we may properly ascertain the extent of Abraham’s virtue, we must consider THE RELATIVE SITUATION IN WHICH HE IS PLACED AT THIS CRITICAL PERIOD. Two Abrahams combated one against the other; but divine and heavenly principles raise him far above those which are carnal and terrestial. Grace triumphs over nature. Abraham makes a double sacrifice to God; an exterior sacrifice upon the... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Genesis 22:10

Gen 22:10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son. Ver. 10. And Abraham stretched forth his hand, &c, ] What painter in the world can possibly express the affection of Abraham, when thus he bound his son, and bent his sword? Surely that painter that set forth the sacrificing of Iphigenia, would also have drawn Abraham, as he did Agamemnon, with his face veiled; as not able to delineate his inconceivable grief. a But a man in Christ is more than a man, and... read more
