God's promise to Abraham was coming true. Abraham and his wife Sarah had a baby name Isaac and later God would Abraham to do the unthinkable, to kill sacrifice his son. Abraham obeyed though and took Isaac up on the mountain to sacrifice him. As he laid on the alter, knife coming down, God told Abraham to stop. Abraham had proved himself faithful and God provided a ram as a replacement sacrifice. God would later provide another replacement lamb, His Son Jesus. He would serve as our replacement. Today we place a lamb on the tree to remind us that Jesus is our lamb.
