23 : 1-25 :18 GENESIS
1 Thess. 4:16-17, Rev. 19:1-9.
There is not a single exhortation
in the New Testament to prepgre
for death, but ever to meet the
Bridegroom at His second corn-
ing. John 14:l-3, 2 Peter 3:8-12.
We return to the scene on Mount Moriah, in con-
clusion, to recall that self-sacrifice is the supreme test of
faith, and that implicit obedience is the onLy testimony
of it. In either respect, Abraham was not found wanting.
But when we come to the climax of the story on Mount
Moriah, where a voice from Heaven says, “Abraham, lay
not thine hand upon the lad,” the type is lost. There was
no voice like that on Calvary, no heavenly edict to cry,
“Spare thy Son.” He gave Him freely for us all, “the
innocent for the guilty, the Just for the unjust.” All of
this was done that you might head and accept the precious
invita tion,
Tome to Calvary’s holy mountain,
Sinners, ruined by the fall;
Here a pure and healing fountain,
Flows to you, to me, to all,
In a full, perpetual tide,
Opened when our Saviour died”.
