A test of his faith and love for God?  I don&#8217;t know of much like it in the Bible.  I guess in some ways our daily discipleship is that kind of test, on a smaller level anyway.  No, not really.  Sacrificing your son goes against what God is about &#8211; love, compassion.  It involves real trust to go against what you know God to be about.  I guess that&#8217;s real trust and love, isn&#8217;t it?  Knowing someone well enough to look past the obvious, surface things that contradict what you know to be true about them and just go along to see where they&#8217;re headed.  Think about Peter and the sheet from heaven.  Goes against what he knows about God, but he trusts and follows along to see where God is going.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/cgi-bin\/bible?language=english&#038;version=NIV&#038;passage=gen+22%3A3\">22:3<\/a> &#8211; No argument, discussion or debate.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/cgi-bin\/bible?language=english&#038;version=NIV&#038;passage=gen+22%3A3-5\">22:3-5<\/a> &#8211; Three days!
