The Sacrifice Averted
11Just then, the Angel of the LORD called out to him from heaven, “Abraham, Abraham!”
“Here I am,” he replied.
12“Do not lay a hand on the boy or do anything to him,” said the Angel, “for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your only son from Me.”
“Notice the obedience of this friend of God – it was no playing at giving up his son: it was really doing it. It was no talking about what he could do, and would do, perhaps, but his faith was practical and heroic.” (Spurgeon)
Here I am, how often do we say to our maker, here I am?
Abraham shows by his response an obedient heart.
Here I am Lord, I am yours.
Blessings, David
