Reflection Questions:
1. Read John 5:39,46 — In what ways does the Old Testament point to Jesus? What are some examples that you can think of? How can this reality change the way we read and understand the Old Testament?

2. Read Hebrews 12:5-6 — Why is it comforting to know that God tests and disciplines out of His love? What difference does this make in the midst of testing?

3. God tests us to show us where we are at and to grow us to become more like His Son. How have you experienced testing in your life? How did you respond? What did this reveal to you about yourself? How did it help you grow? Explain.

4. What could be an “Isaac” in your life? What in your life, if you lost it, would make life seem unbearable? What are you fearful of losing? What has become the center of life?

5. Read Genesis 22:1-14 — What from this story grabs your attention? What questions does it raise for you? What do you learn about God? What do you learn about yourself? How does this story connect to your life?

6. What connections to Jesus do you see in this story? How does this story point to Jesus and the cross?

7. Obedience to God is ALWAYS in our best interest. Agree or Disagree?

8. When have you found obedience difficult? How can this reveal “Isaac’s” (idols) in our life?

9. Read Romans 8:32 — How can this perspective give us courage to obey even when obedience seems difficult?
