Genesis 22:5-19 – Jehovah Jireh

In today’s lesson, we will hear Abraham call upon the Lord for the very first time as “Jehovah Jireh,” which simply means “The Lord Will Provide.” There is not a better name to remember and use when calling upon the Lord than this, because throughout the Christian life there never comes a time when we are not in need of the provision of God. In fact, there is no salvation without the sacrifice provided for us when the Lord gave his only begotten Son on a cross to die for our sins–the sacrifice pictured for us in chapter 22, as Abraham is called upon to sacrifice his only son Isaac.
