God continues to advance his mission in this story by showing Abraham His glory. God had blessed Abraham with Isaac, and although it was only a test, God had the power to take Isaac away. Yet, in all his glory, he decided to spare Isaac and instead provided a substitute, his son, which is represented by the ram caught in the bushes.

identify OT passage in Jacob's life and how it connects to the NT

Genesis 39:20-23 shows how the Lord was still with Joseph, even when he was in prison. This impacts me because I can identify that even in the low points of my life, God is still there with me.

Looking back, God kept my family safe in his hands, just as he did with Joseph, his brothers, and Jacob.
