Why This Matters

When Isaac asked his father where the sacrifice was, Abraham answered with prophetic trust: 'God himself will provide the lamb.' Centuries later, John the Baptist pointed to Jesus and declared him the Lamb of God. Abraham's faith-filled words on Mount Moriah found their ultimate answer at the Jordan River—God did provide, and the Lamb he gave takes away the sin of the entire world.

Reflection

Christ our King, when my identity feels uncertain, remind me that Your promises in Genesis 22:8 stand fulfilled in John 1:29.
