Isaac – The Precious Sacrifice
This Sunday we are beginning a series which will focus on the Miraculous Births in the Bible (Isaac, Samson, Samuel, John & Jesus). As pointers to Jesus, we will see God’s faithfulness in hopeless situations; we’ll see examples of people’s surrender in response to God’s gift; and we’ll see the gospel of God’s grace shine forth. So, there’s no better place to start than with the promise and birth of Isaac, to an old and infertile couple, at the dawn of the covenant of grace and the birth of the nation of Israel, and affirmed with a clear picture of Jesus’ sacrifice and substitution.
