The Test of Faith 'As God had promised, Sarah, the wife of Abraham, conceived a son, al- though she was 90 and Agraham, 100, Through this son, Isaac, God prom- ised, Abraham would become the father of nations,--Genesis 21. burnt-offering. To test Abraham's faith, he told him to take this beloved son, now grown, to a mountain and offer him as a Abraham = did question the command, but set out with Isaac.--Genesis 22:1-8, not At the appointed place, built the altar, bound Isaac on wood on it and took his knife to slay him, Just then the angel of the Lord inter- vened and stopped him, and a ram was offered instead.--Genesis 22:9-13. ILLUSTRATED SUNDAY. SCHOOL LESSON | Abraham back to By Alfred Buescher | When Isaac was about 40, his father sent his chief servant from Canaan Mesopotamia, to bring a bride for Isaac, Rebekah, from among}; his own people.--Genesis 24, GOLDEN TEXT: Hebrews 11:17. BIBLE LESSON Test Of Faith Given Abraham By N, SPEER JONES This week's lesson takes us from the birth of the only son of Abraham and Sarah to the birth of their grandsons by him, Esau and Jacob, Twenty-five years after God's promise, Isaac was finally born when Abraham was 100 and Sarah, 90. The age of Isaac's parents reminds us of another pair of Biblical parents, Zacha- rias and Elisabeth, who gave birth to John the Baptist when por were beyond the normal child-bearing years. The age of his parents may be reflected in Isaac's name, which means "he laughs" or "the laughing one." We recall that Sarah laughed when the angels announced that she would have a child when she was 80 aged (Genesis 18:12, 13). Iscidentally, only one other ibirth was more heralded than 'Isaac's--Christ's, Sarah now returns Hagar's spite; after having no child, she now has the preferred child, In another reversal of roles, find Abimelech, king of Gerar, visiting Abraham in Beersheba and seeking a treaty of protec: tion from him, who now is ob- viously favored by God (Gene- sis 21:22-33), Previously, Abra- ham had resorted to trickery to keep himself safe from Abime- lech's power (Genesis 20). The story of Abraham's sac- rifice of Isaac is a familiar one; it represents the supreme test and supreme victory of Abra- ham's faith, We all meet tests of our. own faith, lesser in de- gree than Abraham's, but the same in concept--in the appar- ent inconsistencies of God's ac- tions, Isaac, so long waited, so CHRISTIAN SCIENCE FIRST CHURCH -- 64 COLBORNE $T, EAST Brench of The Mother Church, The Firat Chureh ef Christ Scientist in Boston, Massachusetts, SUNDAY SCHOOL -- 11:00 A.M.

Yet Abraham's faith is such that he is able to tell his servants that he and Isaac will return, He cannot comprehend what God plans, yet he believes. Notice that while Abraham's sacrifice is merely threatened, God later delivers His Own Son jas a sacrifice for us all--and His sacrifice is consummated, Chapter 23 details the death and burial of Sarah at the age of 127, Abraham was away from home at the time, His negotia- city of Charran from Ur, The name Rebekah is significant in that it means a noose or a tie The servant Eliezer was quickly captivated by Rebekah, and Is aac was devoted to her for a lifetime.
