Standing at the base of Mt. Moriah, Abraham and Isaac are both about to sacrifice something of themselves. Abraham is sacrificing the one thing he has wanted the most, and Isaac is sacrificing himself. When faced with our own mountains, what are we asked to sacrifice for the Lord? Will we be able to look at our mountains and go together trusting in God? Join us this Sunday as we use this story to examine our own trials and the faith needed to trust God with our sacrifices.

Genesis 22:1-8
(MSG)
After all this, God tested Abraham. God said, “Abraham!” “Yes?” answered Abraham. “I’m listening.” 2 He said, “Take your dear son Isaac whom you love and go to the land of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains that I’ll point out to you.”
3-5 Abraham got up early in the morning and saddled his donkey. He took two of his young servants and his son Isaac. He had split wood for the burnt offering. He set out for the place God had directed him. On the third day he looked up and saw the place in the distance. Abraham told his two young servants, “Stay here with the donkey. The boy and I are going over there to worship; then we’ll come back to you.”
6 Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and gave it to Isaac his son to carry. He carried the flint and the knife. The two of them went off together. 7 Isaac said to Abraham his father, “Father?” “Yes, my son.” “We have flint and wood, but where’s the sheep for the burnt offering?” 8 Abraham said, “Son, God will see to it that there’s a sheep for the burnt offering.” And they kept on walking together.

Génesis 22:1-8 (DHH)
Dios pone a prueba la fe de Abraham
22 Después de algún tiempo, Dios puso a prueba la fe de Abraham. Lo llamó por su nombre, y él contestó: —Aquí estoy. 2 Y Dios le dijo:
—Toma a Isaac, tu único hijo, al que tanto amas, y vete a la tierra de Moria. Una vez allá, ofrécelo en holocausto sobre el cerro que yo te señalaré.
3 Al día siguiente, muy temprano, Abraham se levantó y ensilló su asno; cortó leña para el holocausto y se fue al lugar que Dios le había dicho, junto con su hijo Isaac y dos de sus siervos. 4 Al tercer día, Abraham alcanzó a ver el lugar desde lejos.5 Entonces les dijo a sus siervos: —Quédense aquí con el asno. El muchacho y yo seguiremos adelante, adoraremos a Dios, y luego regresaremos.
6 Abraham tomó la leña para el holocausto y la puso sobre los hombros de Isaac; luego tomó el cuchillo y el fuego, y se fueron los dos juntos. 7 Poco después Isaac le dijo a Abraham:
—¡Padre! —¿Qué quieres, hijo? —le contestó Abraham. —Mira —dijo Isaac—, tenemos la leña y el fuego, pero ¿dónde está el cordero para el holocausto? 8 —Dios se encargará de que haya un cordero para el holocausto, hijito —respondió su padre. Y siguieron caminando juntos.
