Moriah Genesis 22- Abraham almost sacrificing Isaac
God continued to advance his mission because it shows his glory by keeping Isaac alive and renewing the covenant with Abraham and sacrificing the given lamb. Since Abraham was obedient, God used this story as a test to see if Abraham would be faithful enough to go to the extent of sacrificing his son. God shows his glory by sparing his son and continuing on the family line of Abraham and making him a great nation.

Gethsamene 30 A.D Joseph Typology Part 2
Jesus was similarly sold to Joseph but instead of being by his brothers, it was by his disciple, Judas. Jesus and Joseph were both sold by silver, but Jesus was worth 10 pieces more. Another connection is that they were both destined to be sold to die, Jesus specifically. However, Joseph being sold into slavery was basically selling him to death because he was an Israelite in Egypt.

Hong Kong Personal Reflection Genesis 13:12-14
I feel like when I visited a school in Hong Kong in KGV, it felt like a school that was like Sodom. Most of the students were interested in taking drugs, alcohol, and consistently swore in every other word possible. This made me feel uncomfortable and I never wanted to be involved in that type of behavior. I felt that I was like Lot, wanting to escape the school that day and never interact with anyone. God told me to stay away and not get involved.
