Two Truths

these words: You Snau not
give any OF your children to
devote them by fire to Molech,
and so pro1ane the name of your
God: I am the Lord" (18:21).
Thus the sacred quality Of
human life was proclaimed. AL
though Israel'S neighbors might
continue the practice, Hebrew
men were expressly forbidden
to do SO in the Law.
The Old Testament bears wit
ness to the sloWness with which
the lesson was learned, however.
Although in moments of weak
ness Hebrew men did fall into
such evil acts G Kings 1853;
21:6), they were quickly con-
demned by the prophets and
others. And this truth regarding
the sacredness Of life was OBJ
served whenever Israel lived
up to the best that it knew.
The second truth Is equally
powerful and demanding. We
must always give ourselves
wholly and unreservedIy to do
ing Gods will. Whetner we ex-
PLAIN his action as a response to
a cultural expectation or as a
response to a divine command,
Abraham believed implicitly
that God had instructed him to
sacrifice his son. His heart must
nave been breaking, but he
promptly set out on the path of
compliance. He did not try to
settle for something less than bis
best. He gave himself COM
pletely to his belief. (See He
brews 11:17.) No more perfect
obedience can be imagined.

But it must be noticed
that he was not blessed because
OF the truth of his idea of God,
wnlcn was, in fact, inadequate.
He was commended solely for

picked regarding the discovery
ot Gods will in given situations.
1t does not come as clearly as
we would like and we are often
confused as to whether we are
following our own misguided
lmpluses or a divine imperative.
We must always be asking our
selves if some idea is really
Gods purpose.
We shall seldom have sharp,
unmiStakable answers, but
these guidelines may be helpful:
If proposed action is in con-
flict with Gods total revelation
in the Bible, and especially as
seen in Jesus life then it must
be questionable. God does not
urge us to violate the moral and
ethical principles characteristic
of his teaching. Rather, he calls
us regularly to live by these
principles. If we are tempted to
do otherwise, claiming that it
is in the name of the Lord, we
would do well to stop and re-

p11SIleQ. Hence, many OIL ADrd-
hams hopes were bound up in
Isaac's continued living and
fruitfulness as a father.
Contrasted with this was the
very strong emphasis of Abra-
hams neighbors upon human
sacrifice. 1t was in these cir
cumstances that Abraham felt
called by God to prove his
devotion by offering the one
thing Of greatest worth to him
the son of his beloved wife
Sarah. He responded in faith,
setting out to do this tragic deed.
And in these events he acquired
a new insight his people were
never to forget: Human sacri-
flee profanes rather than honors
the name Of God.
interpreting The Lesson
This chapter must be read
with discretion lest the great
truth it presents be obscured.
Some people are willing to dis
miss it totally by saying that
God would never ask such a
gift" And in this easy rejection
the emergence of one of the
Hebrew religions distinctive
beliefs is missed.
Human sacrifice was common
place in the Near East. Arch
aeologists have found clear evil
dence of this in Ur (Abraham's
first home), Phoenicia, Egypt,
and even Beersheba in Pale
stine-the setting for this story.
Abraham found this custom in
every direction he turned. And
men performed these cruel acts
in the belief that their gods
were thereby pleased and would
favor them.
We must understand the story
in the light of this environment.
The Genesis writer says "God
tested Abraham" (22:1), and he
continues by recording the sac
rificial instructions from the
voice of God. Some would inter-
pret this in the light of James,
claiming that che himself (God)
tempts on one; but each person
is tempted when he is lured and
enticed by his own desire"
(James l: 13-14).
From this viewpoint Gods
initiation of the sacrifice is re-
jected. Abraham is seen as the
originator of the idea, chiefly
because of his long exposure to
this heathen practice. He felt
compelled to prove his faith
just as his neighbors demon
strated theirs. He was certain
that God wanted him to sacri-
flee Isaac as an offering of the
firSt-born.
But others see no need to re-
move God from the story in this
fashion. They see nothing i'm
moral or capricious in admit
ting that God does use human
circumstances as the stage upon
which his truths are proclaimed.
In the midst of this pagan set
ting God was able to elevate
Abraham's vision and under
standing to new level. He was
able to use Abraham's primitive
insights as a vehicle for con-
veying higher truth.
Doubtless Abraham did bel
ieve that God called him into
this act, as the Genesis writer's
so wildly picture it. He believed
in the God who had led him

PURPOSE OF OUR STUDY
To lead adults to consider

under testing and to learn how
Christians can respond to God
in faith.
SCRIPTURE
Read the lesson from your
Bible: Genesis 81 through Is.
We print selected verses below.
Genesis %: LILA
l After these things God test
ed Abraham and said to him,
"Abraham!" And he said, "Here
am l." 2 He said, "Take your
son, your only son Isaac, whom
you love, and 60 to the land OF
Mori'ah, and offer him there as
a burnt offering upon one of the
mountains of which 1 shall tell
you" 3 So Abraham rose early
in the morning, saddled his ass,
and took two Of his young men
with him and his son Isaac; and
he cut the wood for the burnt
offering, and arose and went to
the place of which God had told
him. 4 On the third day Abra-
ham lifted up his eyes and saw
the place afar off. 5 Then Abra-
ham said to his young men,
"Stay here with the ass; I and
the lad will 60 yonder and
worship, and come again to
you." 6 And Abraham took the
wood Of the burnt offering, and
laid it on Isaac his son; and he
took in his hand tie fire and
the knife. So t'..ey went both of
them toge+t..r. And Isaac said
to his father Abraham, "My
father!" And he said, "Here am
I, my son." He said, "Behold,
the fire and the wood; but
where is the lamb for burnt
offering?" 8 Abraham said,
FGod will provide himself the
lamb for a burnt offering, my
son. So they went both of them
together.
. 8 When they came to the
place Of which God had told
him, Abraham built an altar
there, and laid the wood, in
order, and bound Isaac his son,
and laid him on the altar, upon
the wood. 10 Then Abraham put
forth his hand, and took the
knife to slay his son. II But the
angel of the Lord called to him
from heaven. and said, "Abra-
ham, Abraham!" And he said,
''Here am l." IL He said, EDO
not lay your hand on the lad or
do anything to him; for now I
know that you fear God, seeing
you have not withheld your son,
your only son, from me-" 13
And Abraham lifted up his eyes
and looked, and behold, behind
him was a ram, caught in a
thicket by his horns; and Abra-
ham went and took the ram, and
offered it up as a burnt offering
instead of his son. IA So Abra-
ham, called the name of that
place The Lord will provide; as
it is said to this day, "On the
of the Lord it shall be
provided"

A VETERAN AT 13
FACES DILEMMA
ON STEEL HOUR

drama Wednesday evening on CBS-TV.
The l3-year-old actor, a veteran of
THE Sound of Music" on Broadway
and the London production of "Oli-
VERT, will be teamed with John Beal
for the second time on "Steel Hour"
They appeared together a few
months ago in drama entitled Fare
well to Innocence This time they
will portray father and son in a play
called "The Soldier Ran Away"
Cast as Jeff, son of colonel in the
US. Army's medical corps, young
Thomas hides an Army deserter, then
faces a dilemma when the man be-
comes seriously i'll.
Beal, a MiSsourian who began his
stage training at the University of
Pennsylvania, got into movies when
he was brought out to Hollywood in
1888 to repeat the success he scored
on Broadway in Another Language"
Later, he played opposite Katharine
Hepburn in Little Minister" went
into a business (selling paintings and
other hobby products Of Hollywood
stars) that failed, then revived his
stage career by touring in a musical,
Lend an Ear" in 1850.
He worked his way back into movies
and TV by playing the lead in Stanley
Kramer's film, my Six Convicts.
About that business venture, Beal
says. II found out one thing: movie
actors better stick to their trade
where the only problem is getting a
job"
