Abrahma and Isaac

The Second Window on the West Side of the Sanctuary

Moving toward the front of the sanctuary on the west side of the nave the second window shows Abraham offering Isaac which points to the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross for the win of the world. You can read about Abraham in Genesis 22. This was also a test of Abraham’s faith in God. When Isaac asked where the lamb for the burnt offering was, Abrahamtold him, “God Himself will provide the lamb.” Jesus was that lamb.
