THE SHADOW OF THE CROSS<\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
God told Abraham to sacrifice his son on a mountain in the land of Moriah. Early the next morning, Abraham took his son Isaac and his servants and headed out. As they approached Mt. Moriah, Abraham told his servants to stay behind and taking the wood from their donkeys, he laid it on Isaac’s shoulders.

\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I can almost see the shadow of the cross fall on Isaac and Abraham as they climbed up that hill.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
