This picture has been used to represent the Isaac week in Bible Quest.
Here's a puzzle to cut out and put together as a way to review the verse for this week.
An Isaac puppet script... we had the kids act it out as a Hands-on Story Exploration:
NARRATOR: One day, God spoke to Abraham.
ANGEL: Abraham!
ABRAHAM: Here I am.
ANGEL: Take your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go into the land of Moriah.
ABRAHAM: A trip! Great! Isaac will love that!
ANGEL: Offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains.
ABRAHAM: I… uh… he might not like the WHOLE trip...
NARRATOR: Abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey. He took two of his young men with him and Isaac his son. He brought some wood and went to the place God told him about.
ABRAHAM: I can see the place we’re going right up there. You two guys that don’t have real names, stay here with the donkey. The boy and I…
ISAAC: I have a name father!
ABRAHAM: Yes. The boy and I…
ISAAC: It’s Isaac.
ABRAHAM: Yes, son, I know. The boy and I…
ISAAC: (emphatically) I-ZAAAAK.
ABRAHAM: (clears throat) Isaac and I will go. We will worship, and come back to you.
NARRATOR: Abraham and the boy…
ISAAC: Isaac.
NARRATOR: I mean, Isaac, went up the mountain. Isaac carried the wood. Abraham brought the hot coals for the fire and the knife. They both went together. Suddenly, Isaac thought of something
ISAAC: My father?
ABRAHAM: I have a name, too, you know.
ISAAC: Oh… Abraham?
ABRAHAM: (Pause) But you can call me ‘Dad.’
ISAAC: Oh… Dad?
ABRAHAM: Here I am, my son.
ISAAC: Oh, I know that. I’m right beside you!
ABRAHAM: It’s an expression, Isaac. It means that I’m ready and listening to what you have to say.
ISAAC: Oh. Well, I just had a thought… Here is the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?
ABRAHAM: (Pause) God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.
ISAAC: Oh… that’s WAY easier than the normal way!
NARRATOR: Soon they came to the place which God had told him of. Abraham built the altar there, and laid the wood in order, bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, on the wood.
ISAAC: Um… Dad?
NARRATOR: Abraham stretched out his hand, and took the knife to kill his son, but suddenly a voice called to Abraham!
ANGEL: Abraham, Abraham!
ABRAHAM: Here I am.
ISAAC: Dad, he knows that! He’s God!
ABRAHAM: Quiet, Isaac.
ANGEL: Don’t lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.”
ISAAC and ABRAHAM: (Together) Whew!
NARRATOR: Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and saw that behind him was a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering instead of his son.
ANGEL: Abraham, because you have not withheld your son, I will bless you greatly. Your offspring will be like the stars of the heavens, and like the sand on the seashore. All the nations of the earth will be blessed by your offspring because you have obeyed my voice.”
NARRATOR: Abraham obeyed God. Do you think it was easy or hard to do that? Was it worth it to obey God? What things that God tells you to do are hard to obey? Why?
