A father tells his son that God will provide the lamb. Then a ram shows up instead, not a lamb, and nobody in the story ever mentions the difference. It takes two thousand years, and one voice standing at a river, to finally answer the question Isaac actually asked.
📖 Passage: Genesis 22:1-14 (RSV-CE)
✝️ The Thread, Episode 3 — from The Faithful Fountain
This is Episode 3 of **The Thread**, a Catholic Bible study series from The Faithful Fountain that follows one idea all the way through Scripture. Starting on Mount Moriah, we trace a single animal — promised as a lamb, delivered as a ram — through Abel's first accepted offering, the blood on Egypt's doorposts, Isaiah's suffering servant led silently to slaughter, John the Baptist's declaration at the Jordan, Paul and Peter's identification of Christ as the unblemished lamb, and Revelation's vision of a slain Lamb standing worthy at the center of heaven's throne. If you've ever asked God a direct question and felt like the answer you got wasn't quite the one you needed, this Catholic Bible study is for you.
