Genesis 25:1-34; Job 31:1-40; Matthew 13:24-43
Abraham rose up early in the morning…and went unto the place of which God had told him. Genesis 22:3
Abraham…saw the place afar off. Genesis 22:4
They came to the place which God had told him…and [he] bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar. Genesis 22:9
When they were come to the place…called Calvary. Luke 23:33
Oh how “the place” Abraham brought his son speaks to us of “the place,” God brought His Son. God said to Abraham, “Take now thy son, thine only son, Isaac”—the son of promise, his greatest hope, his very life! This was an act of implicit obedience to God and the response of a devoted worshipper. May we worship in the same fashion today. —Jim Comte
Calvary! O Calvary! Mercy’s vast unfathomed sea,
Love, eternal love to me. Savior, we adore Thee! —S. Trevor Francis
