Genesis 22:13......
"And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him was a ram, caught in a thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his son."
After Abraham was stopped from sacrificing Issac, he "looked" and there was a ram in the bushes. Why didnt Abraham see that ram before he went to sacrifice his son. Was it not there or did he just not see it?
Just like the Lord Jesus Christ, He is has always been there for us. Sometimes it takes a tragedy for us to see Him. Sometimes it takes sickness.
However, just like the ram in the bushes, He is right there waiting for us to "see" Him! Abraham and Isaac not only got a taste for the grief of God in the death of his Son, but the joy of salvation.
