THE MIGHTY SACRIFICEThe Qur’an never states directly that the Messiah is ALLAH’S Mighty Sacrifice. However, this is what the Qur’an strongly implies when it uses the term, “Mighty Sacrifice.” Could any animal, no matter how magnificent, be worthy of truly being called a Mighty Sacrifice? Was the animal that was sacrificed instead of Abraham’s son a Mighty or Momentous Sacrifice? Abraham’s animal sacrifice merely foreshadowed a truly Mighty Sacrifice offered centuries later. Not one for one person, but for an entire rebellious human race. That is how John the Baptist described Isa’s future sacrificial death when he pointed to him and proclaimed, “Behold ALLAH’S lamb which will take away the world’s sin.” As all these thoughts swirled in my mind, to attempt to express them in awkward verse was the best that I could do.
