From the very beginning, sacrifice has been central to the relationship between God and humanity. Nowhere is this more powerfully illustrated than in the dramatic account of Abraham and Isaac in Genesis 22—a foreshadowing of the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
In this episode of Foretold, journey through Scripture as we uncover the deep connections between Abraham’s test of faith and Christ’s Passion. Explore how the sacrifice on Mount Moriah points directly to Golgotha, where Jesus, the true Lamb of God, offers Himself for the salvation of the world. Featuring biblical insights, Church tradition, and stunning imagery from the Lateran Basilica, this episode reveals God’s providential plan and the meaning of true sacrifice.
Discover how this ancient story continues to speak to us today, strengthening our faith and trust in God’s mercy.
