God spoke to Abraham and told him that he would be, “The Father of many Nations”. But what does that mean? Well, it is a shadow of Jesus who was Jewish and died for all nations. The Jews were a very small population yet the Savior of the world came from Abraham’s seed. God tempts Abraham to sacrifice his son on a wooden altar and right before he goes to do it an angel from God stops Him. Then he is provided with a ram to atone for the sins.God promises to bless all nations through Abraham which is exactly what He did through Jesus Christ. Just as Abraham did not seek to spare his son God gave His son for us. “The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go. – Acts 3:13”. The story of Abraham is an amazing testimony of faith and his willingness to obey the commandment that God gave Him.  In a similar way in the New Testament God freely gives up His own son as an offering to save us all.
