Abraham's Mission

Genesis 22:2-6

"[God] said, Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the region of Moriah; and offer him there as a burnt offering upon one of the mountains of which I will tell you.

So Abraham rose early in the morning, saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him and his son Isaac; and he split the wood for the burnt offering, and then began the trip to the place of which God had told him.

On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance.

And Abraham said to his servants, Settle down and stay here with the donkey, and I and the young man will go yonder and worship andcome again to you.

Then Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and laid it on [the shoulders of] Isaac his son, and he took the fire (the firepot) in his own hand, and a knife; and the two of them went on together."

Abraham's mission was to take his only son...(God Said;"Only Son,"...Abraham had Ishmael with Haggar...) 

Take his only son, put him up on an alter and kill him... 

Abraham had been made ready by God to serve Him whole heartedly, keeping nothing back, not trying to find a way out... But love God His Way...
