THE TRIAL OF ABRAHAM'S FAITH The time comes when God gives to Abraham one of the most sever trials of faith possible. When He calls his name, Abraham is fully alert and responsive, "Here I am." Surely he would not be really prepared for the message God gave him, that he must take his on, of whom God says, "your only son Isaac whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burn offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you." Who can measure what a shock this... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Genesis 22:1-24

ISAAC ’S BIRTH , SARAH ’S DEATH THE BONDWOMAN AND HER SON (CHAP. 21) There is little requiring explanation in this chapter, but Genesis 21:9-13 should not be passed without a look at Galatians 4:21-31 . Christians are the spiritual seed of Abraham, and those who would supplement faith in Christ by the works of the law are the children of the bond-woman, who have no place with the children of the promise. God, however, is not unmindful of Hagar and Ishmael, nor of His promise to Abraham... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Genesis 22:1-24

The Offering of Isaac Gen 22:2 It must have seemed hardly possible to the patriarchs, and the elder Hebrews generally, that God could have made the heavy demands upon their trust and love which they were almost daily required to satisfy. In saying this I am judging primitive faith by modern religion: I am in fact judging Abraham by ourselves! Suppose that it should be borne in upon our mind, as the current phrase is, that we should do this or that great thing, requiring special self-denial... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Genesis 22:6

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. So Jesus carried his cross. John 19:17 . read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Genesis 22:7

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? If he be a parent, or a master of a family, who is reading this Chapter, I would beg of him to observe how well instructed Isaac was, in the nature of religious services. Reader! may we not say as Isaac did, in all our ordinances, behold the fire, and the wood, the outward signs of worship: but where is the Spirit's... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Genesis 22:8

And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together. Reader! it is no interesting question, though perhaps not easily answered; did Abraham really know, that God had already provided a Lamb for a burnt-offering; even the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world? There are two passages in the scriptures, which seem to imply as much. Jesus hath given the one; and the Holy Ghost by his servant the apostle hath given the other. John... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Genesis 22:9-10

And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood. And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son. I pass over many interesting things, which belong to this history, considered naturally, in order to regard such as are spiritual. How delightful a representation doth the whole transaction afford of God the Father's love? Romans 8:32 . How... read more

And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here Amos 1:0 . And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou anything unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me. This knowledge is not meant, as referring to God, but as proving the faith of his people to the world. Deuteronomy 8:2 . But were not those three days during which Isaac lay under a sentence of death,... read more
