Lesson 11: Abraham and Isaac,

Primary 6: Old Testament, (1996),43

How hard do you think

it would have been for
Heavenly Father and
Jesus Christ to create
our beautiful world and
everything in it?
Do you think they could
move a mountain or
change the direction of
a river if they wanted
to?

We are going
to learn about
a time when
Abraham and
Sarah were
asked this
question.

Abraham and Sarah were sad

because they had no children.
Later God said Abraham and
Sarah would have a son. His
name would be Isaac. He would
serve God and obey his
commandments. Sarah was
ninety years old. She was too
old to have a baby. But God
said Sarah would have a baby.

Three wise men visited

Abraham and told him
Sarah would have a baby.
Sarah, who was standing in
the tent listening, laughed
when she heard this.
Sarah had a baby boy
named Isaac.

Lets read:
What important lesson
did the Lord teach
Abraham?
What can we learn
from this?
Anything is possible
if it is the Lords will.

Genesis 18:14

God wanted to know if

Abraham would obey him.
God told him to sacrifice
Isaac on a mountain.
Abraham loved his son very
much. He did not want to
sacrifice Isaac. But
Abraham wanted to obey
God.

God told Abraham to go to

a mountain. He took Isaac
and two men with him.
Abraham and Isaac rode
on a donkey. They traveled
for three days.
The two men stayed with
the donkey. Abraham and
Isaac walked up the
mountain. Abraham took a
knife. Isaac took some
wood.

Isaac asked where the

lamb was for the
sacrifice. Abraham told
him God would provide
Himself a lamb.
Abraham built an altar.
He put wood on it.

Abraham tied Isaac and

put him on the altar. He
held the knife over Isaac.
Abraham was ready to
sacrifice his son.
But an angel spoke to
Abraham. He told
Abraham not to sacrifice
Isaac. Abraham had
obeyed God. God loved
Abraham.

Abraham looked
around. He saw a
ram in the bushes.
God had given the
ram for the
sacrifice. Abraham
sacrificed the ram
on the altar.

God was happy

Abraham had obeyed
him. God said he
would bless
Abrahams family.
Abraham and Isaac
went home. Abraham
had obeyed God. He
was willing to let his
son die.

What Abraham
did was like
what Heavenly
Father did.
Heavenly Father
was willing to
let his son, Jesus
Christ, die for
us.
Heavenly Father and Abraham loved their
sons. Jesus and Isaac loved their fathers and
obeyed them.

Lets read:
What blessings did
the Lord promise
Abraham because of
his faithfulness?
Seed refers to
descendants or
children. All those
who have been
baptized become the
seed of Abraham.
