In Genesis God tests Abrahams faith by telling him to supply up his son Isaac as a sacrifice (Gen 22:1-19). Abraham was faithful and God intervened at the last moment. This is a story most of us are familiar with and you could have noticed a similarity among this occasion and what God does by way of His personal Son in the New Testament. In each events a father is supplying up his only son as a sacrifice for others. Casually studying the Genesis account you may have thought that the stories quit getting comparable when God spares Isaac, following-all Jesus did permit Himself to be a sacrifice for us, but the similarities do go on just a bit further. Lets take a close look at Genesis 22:19 which occurs at the finish of the event

Then Abraham returned to his servants, and they set off collectively for Beersheba. And Abraham stayed in Beersheba. (Gen 22:19) (NIV)

Wheres Isaac? Clearly he was there, exactly where else would he go? So if he was there why was he not mentioned? He was talked about as they had been going up the mountain, so whats various now?

In reality we are not told what Isaac is doing after this occasion for two complete chapters. Lets see what he is carrying out the subsequent time we are told about him

Now Isaac had come from Beer Lahai Roi, for he was living in Negev. He went out to the field one day to meditate, and as he looked up, he saw camels approaching. Rebekah also looked up and saw Isaac...

...Isaac brought her into the tent of his mother Sarah and he married Rebekah. (Gen 24:62-64, 67) (NIV)

So the subsequent time we see Isaac in the Bible is when he is receiving his bride, which his fathers servant located for him. Now, this is quite subtle but this exactly what is occurring appropriate now. Jesus has left earth, His Fathers servant (the Holy Spirit) is retrieving His bride, and we will not see Him again until He receives us as His bride.

Have you received Jesus in your heart as your Lord? [http://www.youbarcelona.com/es/ you barcelona] [http://www.youbarcelona.com/es/club/fiestas-lista-domingo success] [http://www.youbarcelona.com/es/club/fiestas-lista-jueves visit]
