Dear Parents,
This week, we’ll learn about “Abraham and Isaac” (Genesis 22). After many years, God kept His promise and gave Abraham and Sarah a son, Isaac. One day, God tested Abraham’s faith by asking him to offer Isaac as a sacrifice. Abraham obeyed and trusted that God would provide. Just as Abraham was about to sacrifice Isaac, God stopped him and provided a ram for the offering instead. God praised Abraham’s faith and repeated His promise to bless all nations through his family. This story points to Jesus, whom God gave as a sacrifice for our sins.
I hope this message will inspire your child to grow in the love and light of Jesus. To help reinforce the lesson at home, please discuss the following points with your child:
- Abraham’s Faith: Talk about how Abraham trusted God completely, even when asked to sacrifice his only son.
- God’s Provision: Explain how God provided a ram in place of Isaac and how He always cares for our needs.
- Jesus, Our Sacrifice: Discuss how Abraham’s story points to God’s ultimate sacrifice, giving His Son, Jesus, to save us from sin.
Pray with your child, thanking God for His love and for sending Jesus as our Savior.
Grace and blessings in Christ,
Danny Sungshin Park
Pastor of Children’s Cell
