(John 6: 6) When he tried Abraham, he proved Abraham's faith and used him, not for an evil purpose, but for making a wonderful prophetic drama by having him sacrifice his beloved son Isaac. God was not asking Abraham to do something He himself would not do, for Abraham here pictured Jehovah God. In the great test of God as to the depths of his love for men he proved himself big-hearted enough to sacrifice his Son. W 8/15
