REFLECTIONS
THE OBEDIENCE OF ABRAHAM AND JESUS
God tested Abraham by asking not for an ordinary sacrifice,
which would have been a partial burning with the meat di-
vided between God and the people and eaten by those who
sacrificed, but for a holocaust, a total burning of the sacrifi-
cial animal. This type of sacrifice consecrated the entire of-
fering to God alone. This is what God was asking of Abra-
ham in offering his only son, Isaac. When Abraham demon-
strated his obedience, that was enough. This story from to-
day’s scriptures foretells the completion of the blood sacri-
fices of the old covenant in the new covenant: the blood of
God’s own Son, offered to us on the cross and in the Eucha-
rist. Abraham’s obedience foreshadows the obedience of
Jesus to God’s promise of salvation. The obedience of Abra-
ham is rewarded in the birth to him, through Isaac, of many
nations. The obedience of Jesus is rewarded in the salvation
of all people for all time.

REFLEJOS
LA OBEDIENCIA DE ABRAHAM Y JESÚS
Dios puso a prueba a Abraham pidiéndole no un sacrificio
ordinario, el cual requería que se quemara parcialmente la
carne y se dividiera entre Dios y el pueblo y fuera consumido
por los que hacían el sacrificio, sino que le pidió un holocaus-
to, la quema completa del animal expiatorio. Este tipo de sa-
crificio consagraba la ofrenda solo a Dios. Esto es lo que Dios
le pedía a Abraham en su ofrenda de su único hijo, Isaac.
Cuando Abraham demostró su obediencia, fue suficiente. El
relato de la Sagrada Escritura de hoy predice la finalización de
los sacrificios de sangre de la vieja alianza en la nueva alian-
za: la sangre del Hijo de Dios, la cual se nos ofrece en la cruz
y en la Eucaristía. La obediencia de Abraham prefigura la
obediencia de Jesús a la promesa de salvación de Dios. La
recompensa de la obediencia de Abraham yace en el naci-
miento, por medio de Isaac, de muchas naciones. La recom-
pensa de la obediencia de Jesús yace en la salvación de todas
las personas por los siglos de los siglos.
