The Ram’s Substitutionary Atonement for Isaac

April 16, 2020 by Scott LaPierre Leave a Comment

The ram's substitutionary atonement for Isaac

Substitutionary atonement refers to Jesus dying in the place of sinners. The Bible teaches that all men are sinners (Romans 3:23), and the punishment for sin is death (Romans 6:23). Romans 6:10 says, “For the death Jesus died he died to sin, once for all.” There must be a death for our sins, but God […]

God Prepares Us for Tests

God Prepares Us for Tests

Looking at Abraham’s obedience in sacrificing his son, Isaac, can be discouraging. We doubt that we could be like him if given a a test of such magnitude. But God prepared Abraham for the test in Genesis 22, and it should be an encouragement that He also prepares us for the trials and tests we […]

The Rich History of Moriah & Jerusalem

February 21, 2020 by Scott LaPierre Leave a Comment

The Rich History of Moriah & Jerusalem

Jerusalem is mentioned six hundred forty-three times in Scripture, which is more than any other location. This does not even include the times it is called Zion, the City of David, or referenced indirectly. Babylon is second, occurring only two-hundred sixty-two times. Jerusalem is first mentioned in Genesis 14:18 when Melchizedek, the “King of Salem,” […]

Lessons from Abraham's Example

Abraham sets a tremendous example in Genesis 22 when God commanded him to sacrifice his son, Isaac. We can be encouraged by his great faith and challenged by his tremendous obedience.

Who Is the Angel of the Lord?

December 30, 2019 by Scott LaPierre 2 Comments

Who Is the Angel of the Lord

If you want the short answer, the Angel of the Lord is the preincarnate Son of God. In Greek, “theos” is “God,” and “phaino” is “appear.” In the Old Testament, the Angel of the Lord is a Theophany (appearance of God) or Christophany (appearance of Christ). If you want the long answer, read on! People […]

Jesus and Isaac’s Submission to Their Fathers

Jesus and Isaac's Submission to Their Fathers

The summer after eighth grade, I flew from California to upstate New York to work on my uncle’s dairy farm. Being thirteen years old and having no friends in the area, I had to find things to do to entertain myself. A bull stood at the end of the barn staring straight ahead all day. […]

Where Does the Old Testament Prophesy Jesus Would Be Raised on the Third Day?

November 9, 2019 by Scott LaPierre 2 Comments

Where Does the Old Testament Prophesy Jesus Would Be Raised on the Third Day

There are clear Old Testament prophecies that Jesus would be raised from the dead, but where does it prophesy that Jesus would be raised on the third day? Psalm 16 is a messianic psalm, which means that even though David wrote it, we read it as though Jesus is speaking: For You will not leave […]

Isaac Is a Type and Shadow of Jesus Christ

November 4, 2019 by Scott LaPierre 8 Comments

Isaac Is a Type and Shadow of Jesus Christ

In a previous post I explained the two-fold reason God asked Abraham to sacrifice Isaac. First, He wanted to test Abraham (Genesis 22:1). Second, He wanted a picture of what He would do with His Son two thousand years later. Isaac is one of the clearest types of Christ in the Old Testament. Here are […]

Why Did God Ask Abraham to Sacrifice Isaac?

June 28, 2018 by Scott LaPierre Leave a Comment

Why-Did-God-Ask-Abraham-to-Sacrifice-Isaac-author-scott-lapierre

I became a Christian in my early twenties. Soon after, I started reading the Bible for the first time. Like many people, I began “in the beginning” at Genesis 1:1. I read some accounts I was already familiar with: creation, the fall, Cain and Abel, and the flood. I did not struggle with much of […]
