Lesson 12 - Isaac



Bible Story – Lesson 12

Hello boys and girls! I pray you all had a good week. I also hope you enjoyed our Easter lessons. Learning about Jesus’ sacrifice is so important!

This week we are going back to the old testament to continue learning about Abraham. I wonder if any of you remember what we have learned so far?

Abraham was a faithful servant of God. He and his wife Sarah had no children, but God promised them a child in their old age. He also promised to make Abraham’s descendants as numerous as the stars! We learned how Abraham did what God asked and he was blessed. He wasn’t perfect, but he was faithful. He did have a son, and his name was Isaac. Today we are going to learn a little more about him.

Isaac was the promised son of Abraham and Sarah. When he was born, his parents rejoiced and grew strong in their faith in God. After God strengthened their faith and gave them time to mature, He brought the most difficult test to Abraham, to prove that his faith was real.

When Isaac was a boy, God tested Abraham by telling him to go to Mount Moriah and offer Isaac as a sacrifice. Abraham was confused and sad, but He trusted God. This was a way to prove that Abraham loved God even more than He loved the blessings God had given him.

I can’t imagine how hard this must have been for Abraham, can you? I’m sure Abraham and Sarah were so sad. It really shows how great their faith was for them to be able to obey God in this moment. God had promised to make a great nation out of Abraham that would bless the world. I imagine it would have been very difficult, even still.

Abraham trusted God and took Isaac to the top of Mount Moriah. Just as he was about to sacrifice Isaac, an angel of the Lord stopped him. Abraham had proven his faith to God. God then proved His promise to Abraham by providing a ram for the sacrifice.

Do you know what is really significant about God providing a ram for the sacrifice? It is a picture of what He would do for us in the future. He sent Jesus to die in our place. As a sacrifice for our sins.

It’s important for us to always remember to love God above everything else. He loves us so much and sacrificed His only Son for us.









Do not lay a hand on the boy, he said. Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son.
Genesis 22:12
