Purpose of the Series
Redemption
Through the
Scriptures
“The Bible tells us that the deadness of man’s heart
and his hatred of God are overcome by the
goodness of God. He gives a new and special
revelation of himself, and he subdues our rebellious
wills by his Spirit so that we understand and receive
his revelation.”
– According to Plan by Graeme Goldsworthy
Genesis 22
Redemption
Through the
Scriptures
Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him,
“Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied. Then God said, “Take
your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go
to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt
offering on a mountain I will show you.” Early the next
morning Abraham got up and loaded his donkey. He took
with him two of his servants and his son Isaac. When he
had cut enough wood for the burnt offering, he set out for
the place God had told him about. On the third day
Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance. He
said to his servants, “Stay here with the donkey while I
and the boy go over there. We will worship and then we
will come back to you.”
Genesis 22
Redemption
Through the
Scriptures
Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it
on his son Isaac, and he himself carried the fire and the
knife. As the two of them went on together, Isaac spoke
up and said to his father Abraham, “Father?” “Yes, my
son?” Abraham replied. “The fire and wood are here,”
Isaac said, “but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”
Abraham answered, “God himself will provide the lamb for
the burnt offering, my son.” And the two of them went on
together. When they reached the place God had told him
about, Abraham built an altar there and arranged the
wood on it. He bound his son Isaac and laid him on the
altar, on top of the wood. Then he reached out his hand
and took the knife to slay his son.
Genesis 22
Redemption
Through the
Scriptures
But the angel of the Lord called out to him from
heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied.
“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.”
Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a
ram caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram
and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son. So
Abraham called that place The Lord Will Provide. And to
this day it is said, “On the mountain of the Lord it will be
provided.”

you: I will surely bless him; I will make him fruitful and

1 Chronicles 21
Redemption
Through the
Scriptures
Then David said to God, “I have sinned greatly by doing
this. Now, I beg you, take away the guilt of your servant. I
have done a very foolish thing.” The Lord said to
Gad, David’s seer, “Go and tell David, ‘This is what
the Lord says: I am giving you three options. Choose one
of them for me to carry out against you.’” So Gad went to
David and said to him, “This is what the Lord says: ‘Take
your choice: three years of famine, three months of being
swept away before your enemies, with their swords
overtaking you, or three days of the sword of the Lord—
days of plague in the land, with the angel of
the Lord ravaging every part of Israel.’ Now then, decide
how I should answer the one who sent me.” David said to
Gad, “I am in deep distress. Let me fall into the hands of
the Lord, for his mercy is very great; but do not let me fall
into human hands.”
1 Chronicles 21
Redemption
Through the
Scriptures
Then the angel of the Lord ordered Gad to tell David to go
up and build an altar to the Lord on the threshing floor of
Araunah the Jebusite. So David went up in obedience to
the word that Gad had spoken in the name of the Lord.
________
Araunah said to David, “Take it! Let my lord the king do
whatever pleases him. Look, I will give the oxen for the
burnt offerings, the threshing sledges for the wood, and
the wheat for the grain offering. I will give all this.” But
King David replied to Araunah, “No, I insist on paying the
full price. I will not take for the Lord what is yours, or
sacrifice a burnt offering that costs me nothing.”
1 Chronicles 21
Redemption
Through the
Scriptures
So David paid Araunah six hundred shekels of gold for the
site. David built an altar to the Lord there and sacrificed
burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. He called on
the Lord, and the Lord answered him with fire from
heaven on the altar of burnt offering. Then the Lord spoke
to the angel, and he put his sword back into its sheath.

In your relationships with one another, have the same
mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did
not consider equality with God something to be used to his
own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking
the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled
himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a
cross! Philippians 2:5-8

We find commonality between Isaac and Jesus in that they were both willing

to obey their Fathers’ commands. Also, Isaac carried the _______for

The Son’s Willingness
Redemption
Through the
Scriptures
He was oppressed and afflicted,
yet he did not open his mouth;
he was led like a lamb to the slaughter,
and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
so he did not open his mouth. Isaiah 53:7
They were on their way up to Jerusalem, with Jesus
leading the way, and the disciples were astonished, while
those who followed were afraid. Again he took the
Twelve aside and told them what was going to happen to
him. “We are going up to Jerusalem,” he said, “and the
Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and
the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death
and will hand him over to the Gentiles, who will mock him
and spit on him, flog him and kill him. Three days later he
will rise.” Mark 10:32-34

The three passages we have looked at share many aspects in common

________________.”
This mountain of provision and sacrifice is Mt. Moriah in Jerusalem.
Jesus is not sacrificed at the site of the temple because of rules for sin
offerings.
“The high priest carries the blood of animals into the
Most Holy Place as a sin offering, but the bodies are
burned outside the camp. And so Jesus also suffered
outside the city gate to make the people holy through
his own blood.” Hebrews 13:11-12
Our Response
Redemption
Through the
Scriptures
Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the
Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who
believes may have eternal life in him.” For God so loved the
world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever
believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For
God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the
world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes
in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe
stands condemned already because they have not believed
in the name of God’s one and only Son. This is the verdict:
Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness
instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone
who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light
for fear that their deeds will be exposed. John 3:14-20
Redemption
Through the
Scriptures
Then I looked and heard the voice of
many angels, numbering thousands
upon thousands, and ten thousand
times ten thousand. They encircled the
throne and the living creatures and the
elders. In a loud voice they were saying:
“Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to
receive power and wealth and wisdom
and strength and honor and glory and
praise!”
- Rev. 5:11-12
