Ch. 7: The Present

THE BIG IDEA
This week our kiddos learned that God keeps His promises. God kept his promise to Abraham to give him a very big family by giving him a son, Isaac. God asked Abraham to show how much he trusted God by giving his only son, Isaac, to God by sacrificing him. God kept his promise to Abraham by giving him a ram to sacrifice instead of Isaac.

    • Answers vary, but kids should say that it would be difficult.

    • God asked Abraham to give Him Isaac, Abraham's only son.
  • What is it called when someone gives something to God?
    • A sacrifice
  • What present did God give to Abraham to stop hm from sacrificing Isaac?
    • A ram that was stuck in the bushes nearby.
  • What did we discover about Jesus from the story of Abraham and Isaac?
    • God asked Abraham to sacrifice his only son, but he provided a ram for Abraham to rescue Isaac. Much later, God would choose to give His only Son, Jesus, as a sacrifice to rescue us.
PRAY TOGETHER 
Spend time in prayer this week thanking God for being a God who rescues. Thank Him for giving His only Son, Jesus, as a sacrifice for us to rescue us just like He promised to do.
