Imagine you were old and had no children. Then God promises you a son, but waits many years before delivering on His promise. Then God tells you to offer your son as a burnt offering. What would go through your mind? How would you respond? This is the story we see in Genesis 22:1-19. In this episode, I show the real reason why God called Abraham to offer his son as a burnt offering.
