Hebrews 11:17 . For God’s sake, Abraham left his family and his country. Was God satisfied with that? No! Even in the strange land, God said to him, “Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love and offer him as a burnt offering.” (Gen. 22:2). Abraham obeyed and went to offer his son. Moses also sacrificed his princely position, the royal palace and all the riches and authority “…esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt” (Heb. 11:26). – H.H.
