📺 New Beginnings
There is an old story about a boy and his mother who had gone to the corner drug store to buy a few items. There on the counter was a candy jar. The little boy stood mesmerized, looking up at the jar filled with all that candy. The owner smiled as he watched. He gently asked the boy, “Do you want some of this candy?” The boy nodded, and the manager said, “Well, go ahead and stick your hand in the jar and take a handful.” But the boy just stood there and didn’t move. Again, the owner said, “Go ahead. It’s OK. Just reach in and get a handful of candy.” But the boy continued to just stand there and stare at the jar. Finally, the owner reached into the jar and pulled out some of the candy and gave it to the boy who filled his pockets. When they got outside the mother asked him, “Why didn’t you take that handful of candy when the man told you it was O.K.?” The boy smiled and said, “Because his hands are bigger than mine”.
He knew if he put his hand in the jar he wouldn’t get nearly as much candy as when the owner did it for him. So, he waited for the owner to provide for him! Because, if the owner provided for him, he’d get more than he would have gotten by himself.
In Genesis 22, we see Abraham learn that very lesson. This is the well-known story of God’s command to sacrifice Isaac on Mount Moriah. I am aware of and understand how this is a picture of God the Father sending God the Son to be sacrificed for us. I realize the importance of this story and how it is a metaphor for the crucifixion. But I want to focus on something else in the text today.
