There he was grazing on Mount Moriah, moving from one clump of grass to another. He was strong and confident. His horns were the type which were used by men to blow on like a trumpet, and it was his horns and not a wild beast which got this ram into trouble. He moved into a thicket, pressing through the branches, when he discovered that his horns were caught so tightly that he couldn’t move them. Oddly he didn’t thrash around. He just settled down where he was and waited. He was partly out of sight should anyone come there.  \nTwo people did. It was an old man, Abraham, and his son Isaac. Isaac was carrying some wood, and Abraham had a metal dish with a wooden handle in his hand. This is where some coals were burning, and in his belt he had a knife. They had come to worship God on the top of this mountain because God had told them to come to this place. They had been traveling for three days, and they had left two young men companions behind at the bottom of the mountain.  \nAbraham was a friend of God, and for many years God had been teaching him to trust the Lord. Again and again Abraham had seen God make promises to him and then keep them in wonderful and miraculous ways. Even now after he had learned so much about God, the Lord was still teaching him to trust Him.  \nThat is why God on this day had brought the ram and both Abraham and Isaac together. He was going to teach Abraham and Isaac that He was going to provide the Savior who would take the place of sinners who disobeyed God and receive the punishment they deserved. And if they believed and received the Savior, they would be forgiven and restored to be in God’s family.  \nAbraham’s son, Isaac, didn’t know this then, but soon he would learn it from his father. He was puzzled and asked Abraham,“We have all the preparations to make a sacrifice for our sins--but where is the sacrifice; where is the lamb?” The two men down atthe foot of the mountain were wondering about that, too. Why had Abraham gone up the mountain without a sacrifice for sin to offer to God?  \nAbraham said to Isaac,“God will provide the lamb for the sacrifice. I don’t know why He is doing it this way, or how He is going to help. He has always provided away, and we have to trust Him. I know that He loves us, and even when we don’t understand, we can trust His love.”  \nOn the top of the mountain they found a flat rock which would do for an altar or place for prayer and sacrifice. They made preparations, but one thing was still missing--the sacrifice. Then Abraham with tears in his eyes said to Isaac,“Do you trust our God, and do you trust me?” And Isaac replied,“Of course, I trust our God, and I trust you, Father.”  \n“God has been talking to me, and He wants to test our faith in His love,” said Abraham.“He wants you to lie down on this altar and be the sacrifice, since I have no other gift to give God. You are the greatest gift He has given to","cbCainD6IWYrpDaT","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainD6IWYrpDaT","pdf",203791,1,12,"English","en",105,"# The Ram on Mount Moriah\n## Abraham and Isaac’s Journey\n## The Test of Faith and the Substitute Ram\n## God’s Promise and the Message of Jesus","[{\"question\":\"What event begins the story on Mount Moriah?\",\"answer\":\"A ram is found grazing near Mount Moriah, but its horns become caught in a thicket so it cannot move.\"},{\"question\":\"Why did Abraham and Isaac go to the top of the mountain?\",\"answer\":\"They traveled for three days to worship God because God had told them to come to that place.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the ram’s substitution connect to Jesus in the reading?\",\"answer\":\"The ram is presented as a substitute that takes Isaac’s place, pictured as a sign of God’s greater gift—His only Son, Jesus Christ—who takes away sins and offers forgiveness.\"}]",1784294215,30,{"code":4,"msg":30,"data":31},"ok",{"site_id":24,"language":23,"slug":32,"title":13,"keywords":33,"description":14,"schema_data":34,"social_meta":85,"head_meta":87,"extra_data":89,"updated_unix":27},"the-ram-who-took-anothers-place-part-12-english-spiritual","",{"@graph":35,"@context":84},[36,53,67],{"@type":37,"itemListElement":38},"BreadcrumbList",[39,43,47,50],{"item":40,"name":41,"@type":42,"position":20},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":44,"name":45,"@type":42,"position":46},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":48,"name":12,"@type":42,"position":49},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/religion-spirituality/",3,{"item":51,"name":13,"@type":42,"position":52},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/the-ram-who-took-anothers-place-part-12-english-spiritual/90543/",4,{"url":51,"name":13,"@type":54,"author":55,"headline":13,"publisher":57,"fileFormat":60,"inLanguage":23,"description":14,"dateModified":61,"datePublished":61,"encodingFormat":60,"isAccessibleForFree":62,"interactionStatistic":63},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":56},"Person",{"url":40,"name":58,"@type":59},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-07-17",true,{"@type":64,"interactionType":65,"userInteractionCount":4},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":66},"ViewAction",{"@type":68,"mainEntity":69},"FAQPage",[70,76,80],{"name":71,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":73},"What event begins the story on Mount Moriah?","Question",{"text":74,"@type":75},"A ram is found grazing near Mount Moriah, but its horns become caught in a thicket so it cannot move.","Answer",{"name":77,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":78},"Why did Abraham and Isaac go to the top of the mountain?",{"text":79,"@type":75},"They traveled for three days to worship God because God had told them to come to that place.",{"name":81,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":82},"How does the ram’s substitution connect to Jesus in the reading?",{"text":83,"@type":75},"The ram is presented as a substitute that takes Isaac’s place, pictured as a sign of God’s greater gift—His only Son, Jesus Christ—who takes away sins and offers forgiveness.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":51,"og:type":86,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":58,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":88,"canonical":51},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":24},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":91},[92,96,100,104,109,114,119,123,126,129,133],{"id":20,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":93,"show_sort_weight":94,"slug":95},"Story & Novel",90,"story-novel",{"id":46,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":97,"show_sort_weight":98,"slug":99},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":52,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":101,"show_sort_weight":102,"slug":103},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":105,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":106,"show_sort_weight":107,"slug":108},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":110,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":111,"show_sort_weight":112,"slug":113},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":115,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":116,"show_sort_weight":117,"slug":118},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":120,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":121,"show_sort_weight":28,"slug":122},8,"Research & Report","research-report",{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":124,"slug":125},20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":124,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":127,"show_sort_weight":124,"slug":128},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":130,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":131,"show_sort_weight":130,"slug":132},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":134,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":135,"show_sort_weight":105,"slug":136},19,"General","general"]
