How does God continue to advance his mission to reflect His glory in this story? In this story where God tests the faith of Abraham he also shows his power and love. Abraham is asked to give up his only son Isaac as a sacrifice to God.
God provided a ram there to show that He has the power to do so and that he would provide for humanity even when we don't give back anything.

Hebrews 12:16
16 See that no one is sexually immoral, or is godless like Esau, who for a single meal sold his inheritance rights as the oldest son.
Esau represents the sinners in the world, who are skilled in the ways of the world, but not heaven. They will give up their birthright, heaven, for the pleasures of the world, which are represented by the soup that Esau ate.
