The LORD Will Provide - Part 5
Genesis 22:13-14
03/22/2024
13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and
behold, behind him was a ram, caught in a thicket
by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram
and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of
his son.
14 So Abraham called the name of that place, ``The
LORD will provide;'' as it is said to this day,
``On the mount of the LORD it shall be provided.''
(ESV)
And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold,
behind him was a ram, caught in a thicket by his horns.
And Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up as
a burnt offering instead of his son. So Abraham called
the name of that place, ``The LORD will provide;'' as
it is said to this day, ``On the mount of the LORD it
shall be provided.''
The ram was caught in the thorn bush as the branches
encircled his head. Jesus also wore a crown of thorns as He was
sacrificed near the site of Isaac's redemption from death.
During this coming week we will remember our Lord Jesus
Christ and His suffering on our behalf. This coming Sunday marks
the day when He rode into Jerusalem to the shouts of the crowds
and the waving palm branches. He rode in, fulfilling Old
Testament prophecy, to bear our sins upon the cross.
Every day this coming week Trinity Lutheran Church will be
holding a special service to commemorate our Lord's passion. On
Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday we will meet at 9:15 a.m. to
listen to the passion accounts from the Gospel writers. Thursday
and Friday evening are services to commemorate Jesus' actions on
the night He was betrayed, and to ponder His crucifixion. These
are at 7:00 p.m.
Please join us for any or all of these services, and for the
service on Sunday at 9:00 a.m.
May our Lord comfort you with the assurance that your sins
are forgiven for the sake of the innocent suffering and death of
Jesus Christ. Amen.
