Genesis 22:1–19

Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice Isaac is a similitude of God and His Son.

Although we don’t know all the reasons God commanded Abraham to offer Isaac as a sacrifice, we do know it was a test of his faith in God. We also know it was “a similitude of God and his Only Begotten Son” (Jacob 4:5). As you read Genesis 22:1–19, you could look for symbols or similarities between Abraham’s offering of Isaac and the Father’s offering of His Son, Jesus Christ. Consider writing what you find in a chart like this:

I've created a different chart/ graph like this:

I have a bunch of cards the youth can read and place them where they think they go, but I do think you should finish the first row, so you can establish the foundation for the lesson before you go out for order.

The first row will look like this when completed:

If they don't get it exactly right, like mixing up Isaac and Abraham, that's ok. We are more interested in relating to the students' lives than getting it perfect.

As you can see, the students have some questions to answer. If you have a younger class, tell them to pick their favorite question and only answer that one.

It is a beautiful thing when it is completed, but that shows what a nerd I am. I will have a key available for those who purchase.

There are also notes on the side of each card, insights for the teacher. Here is a sample of that:

Many of the cards have quotes from Elder Holland's talk this week. President Jeffrey R. Holland’s message “Behold the Lamb of God” (Ensign or Liahona, May 2019, 44–46).

What symbols or similarities to the Savior’s atoning sacrifice do you find most meaningful? Consider singing or reading the lyrics of a hymn that shows Heavenly Father’s love for us, such as “God Loved Us, So He Sent His Son,” Hymns, no. 187. You might also record your feelings about Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and Their sacrifice for you.

Here is a free print of a Symbols of Christ Match-up.

If you want to study more about the sacrifice of our Savior, consider reading President Jeffrey R. Holland’s message “Behold the Lamb of God” (Ensign or Liahona, May 2019, 44–46). Why is a lamb such a powerful symbol of the Son of God? What did President Holland teach that increases your reverence for Heavenly Father’s gift?
