The collimated given (vs, 1, 2). 1, After these things ---After the birth Of 1saae and the events sub- sequent to it tie shown in the preceding eluipter, God did. tempt Ahralient—"Ditt provedh-elt. V. The word "tempt" is conatlenly need' in the eeuse of sonata - tion to evil, but that le not the mean- ing here. A test was abuut to be made of Abraham's faith; and in the light of the oft -repeated promise made to Atwell= of an ithundant posterity, and the birth of Isaac, through whom the proiniee weuld be fulfilled, no greater test could be made. Here am --Abra- ham was in etteli a state of devotion to God that he. recognized hie voice when he Spoke, end was ready to respond at onee to what might be required of him. 2. Take now...thine only son Istrito- 16;44 was the only son of Abraham and riehitle Ishmael had been born to hint and 'Tager, 8,1trah's eervant, Whom thou loveet—This is the first timo that the word love is used in the ecriptures. Abraltant loved Isaac, not only no Ids eon, and the son of hie old age and the eon through whom he wee to Leconte a great uation, hut as the child of au eepeelal promise, The land of Morialt —The prevailing opiaion, which. ie doubt - lees the true one, is that it was ono of the mountains upon which Jeensalent was leter built and the site of the temple, uear to Calvary, where Christ Nras offered up. Offer him there for a burnt offering—There is nothing here, when the whole ace:omit is considered, to 'sanction the practise of offering hu- man sacrifiees. The command to offer up belie eras given to test A.brahands aith, and eviren he stood the teen the ler was countermanded, and. vktim tor seerifiee woe at hand (vs. 13). N11. Abraham'e faith anti obedience •O'S. 340). 3, 'Wee up early in the vaorning—An early start on a, jonrney is aid important in the east. Thus would the traveller avoid the heat of the day in the sun, by travelling Ixtfore the sun was tip, and matter, in the heat of the day.—Wheclon. Tlie early start shows thet, there was no delay in obeying God's cornmarel. Saddled—Bound upon the beeet of burden the baggage neces- sark,for the jounce'. Young men--teer- vents. Cleve the wood for the bernt offerino—A sutpply of dry wood was pro - Tided. .4. On the third day—From Beer- sheba to Mottut Morialt was forty-five miles. The journey was made on foot, so that three days was none too long thne to reach the plaee and offer the saerifiee. Saw the place afar off— Some have supposed that the particular place was designated by a cloud. or pil- tar of fire representino the divine glory, but this seems rathe;fanciful. The bill called Moriah can be seen at a dietance of three miles by oue travelling toward it from Beer-elieba. 5. Abide ye here— The hill may haw been difricult of ac- cess, so the ass was left at the base in charge of the servants; then, too, Abraham desired to be alone with Isaac. O. Upon Isaac—It is probable that Is- aac eves twenty-five years old at this thno and better able to carry the wood than was his fether, who was one hun- dred years older. We aro ieminded of Christ's carrying his -cross up the hill of Calvary. Took the fire in his hand— Matehes were not then invented and fire was carefully preserved. Abraham pro- bably carried the live coals in a, brazier. 7, Where is the Iamb for a burnt offer- ino—Teartc's appeal was tender and are fecntionate.eand his father's heait muet have 'milted and failed, bad it not been for his faith that God. was able to fulfil his word. The son's query was most natural. Wood, fire and a knife had been provided, ana stones were abunce tint, but no provision had. been made for a victim. 8. God will provide himself a Limb—The time had not yet come for Abram to make known to Isaac his pnrpose in detail of going to Moriato Abraham's answer was complete enough for trutlifulnees, and guarded enough her the occasion. It expreseed the great faith. of Us heart and went far boyond his knowledge. The word winch Abra- litim here uses for, God is "Jehovah - :lira." (v. 14), which means the Lord will provide or the Lord will see. "In the very change of God we see a pro- grese he faith and lovo. God, the gov- ernor, commanded, so it seemed to Abraham; but Jehovah, the covenant God, providee the weer of eseape."—Peo loubet. They eveut both of them toge- ther—Ablutham went with implicit fa.ith in God, and Isaac with full feith in his tether and in his father's God. 9. The pletee--Clod bad matte it perfectly clear where the offering; should be made. Built an altar—The actual preparations tor ,stecrifice of a son's life aro beim; made hi, a fond father, but with full con- fidenee that if Iseee's life should be sae. rificed, it would be restored. Laid the wood in order—No part of the prepara- tion Was omitted. Bonita. Isane his son —Every act in this seriee enteet have wrung that father's; heart. There nmet have been full co-operation of the son with the father at this point.. Isaac was ddobtlesei euperior. to his father in pley• steal etrength, and could easily have re- sioteel his father's efforts to bind him and,pleoe him upon the alter. We may see In Isaac a type of Chriet, as a sacei- fiee for sin. 10. Stretohed forth his leond—So far as Abraham's consecration Iettac to God ae sacrifiee wait cou- cerned it was cemplete. The eaerifiee had virtually been made, and the end that God had in view was reacher:.

The test of spirteel character, eu this leeeon we contemplate olio of the greatest saiute 'subjected to the severest of tests, the last of a series, whieh began when be 'wile called to leave hie eountry end his kindred at Godie Niemand. It was the erowning test of Abraham's. life, in which all preeeding tests culminated it was a protraeted accomplished with pain and eelf-oaeritice. The greats, nese of the teet appears the excep- timed diameter of the demand. It ap- peered as a direct eoutradietion ef God's promise. It is the most extraordimery command which we find in ecripture. seemed to reod his very religion in Life, faith in the, promise on, Which he had l4een living for egany years drew' one way, while faith le this last com- mand drew (mother. .After Om years Abraham bad to telte a yet higher plaeo in the school of feith, where every part of hie charactee was put to proof. Ire was veiled upon to make a sacrifice that ecented to dash with reason, affection end religion. It was a teet thot put the severest poseible strain upon him in the teetiereet rehttions of his oatural and epiritual life. He oboytsd aetually told promptly the letter awl the spirit of the command by which lie gave fun evi- dence that he loved God sincerely and sitpremely. All the elements of hdety were in his aet. lfe did not wait for a re- petition of the command, nor demand additional evidence concerning it. He did not question the love or disdem at Glad. His obedience portrays all the vir• hies in one, blended in a. marvelous bar-, -loony. The ecceptienee of the eacrifice which God provided WaS the true test of hie spiritual charaetor. Abrabam pre. pared' with eaered forethoughe eovry- thing for the sacrifice, He had learned that the way that led to the perfecting of hie faith was the way of treouneiation and self-denial. it Was .the kind of self sorrender knowa only to thoeta who know God hi a dose friendship, and who ee pose in him with an unfaltering; trust The erucial test could. only take place in that which he loved and valued most, Abraham had 'earned that all power to ho right- or to do right began with the. offering up of himself. :The, heart ot Abraham was the primate point of the aesault in his trial of faith. He did opt allow his affection for Isatic to hinder his faith. IL The open door to divine revela- tion. Wee's deliverance wee an integral part of the divine purpose from the be- ginning of the trial. The ram caught in the thieket Was all that was needed for the eymbolical expression of that in- ward oblation. When Abraham lifted the knife, his sacrifice was complete. Isaac had already been saerificed upon the altar of a father's. heart. God's "lay not thine hand- upon the lad," was the final decree that human sacrifice was forbidden. By this time Abraham had iuereased in faith and understanding, until the meaning of the duty God re- quired wae plain. On Mount Maria the religious life of Abraham reached its maturity, and his knowledge of the di- vine nature attained its greatest epirit- ual depth, It was the scene of revela- tion. By the interposition of the divine voice, 'Abraham learned that obedience was complete when the inward surrender was complete. His faith was rewarded by receiving again the surrendered saeri- fice, made more precious because it had heeu ou the altar. Ietiac became a living memorial of God's faithfulness. To Abraham this was a victory revealing the trust God had placed in him, a vic- tory which obtained fresh tekene of di- vine love. From Mount Moriah there went up the sweet savor of acceptable sacrifice before any fire was kindled on the attar. On his return Abraham had the consciousness that he had recognized Godn absolute elaim upon him, that he had followed the path . of rectitude through bis trial, and that he had ob- tained the approval of God. Through eignal interposition he had the assur- ance of future blessing, and was told of a glorious future, when the ooreat 'Sacrifice should be offered on Mount Calvary, T. R. A.
