Is there a more gripping story than Abraham and Isaac on Mount Moriah?
Read Genesis 22. Though the narrative comes across very matter-of-fact, these fourteen verses document one of the most horrifying stories in all of Scripture. Horrifying and beautiful—and staggering in its implications. There are compelling lessons to be drawn from it on faith and obedience, for starters.
In the context of this Easter season, however, the ancient account takes on deeper meaning. Watch this video, listen to this song... and ponder: a Father "who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all" (Romans 8:32).

So I ask again: is there a more gripping story than Abraham and Isaac on Mount Moriah?
Yes; it is that of God the Father and God the Son on Mount Golgotha.
