"And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham"(Ge.22:1)
Does God tempt man? Certainly not! The word of God is clear about it. ("For God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:"-Jas.1:13). In order to understand the story of Abraham and Isaac as intended by God, we can only understand its full significance from the manner the Holy Spirit has organized the Fellowship of God with Man.
The Man is Jesus Christ where both his deity and his humanity bears upon everyman who is brought into the fellowship. He is called to be saint . It is thus we find in the epistles of St Paul, "To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints" and yet another, "Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints " (Ro.1:7; 1 Co.1:2)
The Spirit is not referring to human nature as we in our workaday world tend to view temptation. An open door may tempt a saint for instance is precisely with regards to his human circumstances. Whereas a saint's world is set in an altogether different context. He is set in context of the world of the Spirit according to his own pleasure and not because he merited it. God does not tempt anymore than he has to remember as we read in this verse, "And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark." Temptation is letting Abraham know where his priorities lay and God desired that " I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect."(Ge.17:1)
As commanded of God Abraham took his only son along. "And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you." (22:5) Help provided by the young man hitherto covered only muscle power, which in the world of the flesh does count. But the intent of the Spirit is something else. So he purposely sets them higher than others who had accompanied them.
