And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind [him] a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.  And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.

HEBREWS 9:13

    How can the gulf between God and man be bridged?  We, who deserve death, needed a perfect, righteous sacrifice to stand in our place.  God provided that sacrifice.

JOHN 3:16
For God so loved the world, [that's you and me!] that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
