Abram and Sarah's story is a foundational narrative in the Bible, highlighting themes of faith, promise, and the fulfillment of God's covenant. Sarah, originally named Sarai, is Abraham's wife and an essential part of the journey God sets them on. Despite their advanced age and Sarah's initial barrenness, God promises them a son, Isaac, through whom He will establish a great nation.

Their story is marked by moments of doubt and laughter—Sarah famously laughs when she hears God's promise of a son due to her old age. Yet, this narrative also showcases their unwavering faith in God's promises, even when those promises seem impossible by human standards.

This can be a difficult story for children to comprehend. Many modern children will be disturbed by the idea of any live sacrifice (the ram) and God's test of Abraham. The first coloring page of Abraham and Lot sitting together on the hilltop is best for sensitive children or groups of children where adult supervision doesn't allow for one on one time with young learners.

The story of Abraham and Isaac is one of the most poignant narratives in the Bible, encapsulating themes of faith, obedience, and divine provision. God tests Abraham's faith by asking him to sacrifice his son Isaac, the child of promise, on Mount Moriah. Abraham, demonstrating unwavering trust in God, prepares to carry out the command. However, at the moment of sacrifice, an angel of the Lord intervenes, stopping Abraham and providing a ram as an alternative offering. This profound event not only reaffirms Abraham's steadfast faith but also foreshadows the concept of substitutionary sacrifice, a theme that resonates deeply within Christian theology. The story, set against the backdrop of a rugged mountain landscape, invites reflection on the depths of faith and the nature of divine promises.

During the time of Abraham, child sacrifice was practiced among various ancient cultures and religions in the Near East. The story of Abraham and Isaac, known as the Binding of Isaac or the Akedah in Jewish tradition, stands out against this historical backdrop by ultimately conveying a message of God's mercy and opposition to human sacrifice.

In this narrative, God's command to Abraham to sacrifice his son can be seen as a test of faith, but it's crucial to note that God intervenes to prevent the act. The provision of a ram as a substitute for Isaac not only spares the boy but also serves as a powerful statement against the practice of child sacrifice, distinguishing the God of Abraham as one who values life and mercy. This story emphasizes God's provision and the principle that He does not desire such extreme sacrifices from His followers, setting a precedent for mercy and compassion in the divine relationship with humanity.

Abraham and the beggar:

NIV Luke 16:22 coloring page of Abraham and the beggar

NIV Luke 16:22
Abraham and the beggar

Luke 16:22 reads: "The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried." This verse is part of the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus, where Jesus contrasts the fates of a poor man named Lazarus, who suffers in life but is comforted in death, and a rich man who enjoys earthly pleasures but faces torment after death. The passage highlights themes of justice, the reversal of fortunes in the afterlife, and the importance of compassion and righteousness.

While Lazarus isn't described as directly interacting with Abraham during their lifetimes, the imagery of Lazarus being carried to "Abraham's side" or "Abraham's bosom" after death symbolizes a place of honor and rest in the afterlife, in contrast to the rich man's fate. This narrative underscores the values of compassion, humility, and the eternal consequences of our earthly actions, with Abraham serving as a figure of comfort and righteousness in the afterlife. The halos on the coloring page symbolize their meeting in the afterlife.

In the story of Abraham, we start with a bold leap of faith as he leaves his home, guided by God's promise. Picture Abraham in simple, earth-toned garments, stepping onto a path lit by the warm hues of a setting sun, representing the start of his journey into unknown lands.

God's covenant with Abraham is a defining moment, where He promises Abraham that he would be the father of many nations, that his descendants would be as numerous as the stars in the sky, and that through him, all the nations of the earth would be blessed. This covenant, marked by the changing of Abram's name to Abraham, which means "father of many," sets the foundation for the unfolding narrative of God's people.

The trial of Abraham's faith on Mount Moriah is a scene of contrasting colors: the dark browns and grays of the rocky altar against the soft, white wool of the ram provided by God. This moment, filled with tension and relief, shows Abraham's unwavering faith amidst the earthy tones of the mountain and the greens of the thicket where the ram is caught.

Through these events, Abraham's journey is a story of faith and promise, painted in the natural colors of desert lands, starlit nights, and mountainous terrains, inviting children to explore these pivotal moments in the Old Testament.
