The Aetherlight Episode 1 Family PlanSampel

Real Sacrifice

What might have been the most agonising decision of Abraham’s life turned out to be unnecessary. God didn’t require Isaac to be sacrificed. What God truly wanted was Abraham’s trust. That’s something He could build a community around.

Something to think about while you are reading today’s passage:

We tend to think of sacrifice in practical terms, but sometimes the biggest challenge is to give up our own way of doing things. Faith isn’t easy, as Abraham’s life shows. How have you been challenged by God in this area?

Something to talk about with players of The Aetherlight:

In The Aetherlight, the Scarlet Man reveals his plans after rescuing Irving from the Usurper’s forces in the nick of time. By trusting him, Alexander has created an opportunity for the Resistance to grow. It’s a good place to talk about what God really expects from us - Psalm 51:17 is helpful here.
