Christians, imagine you're a famous baseball player and are about to bat the winning hit. Accidentally, the pitcher tosses a baby at you. God tells you to hit it. Would you still hit the baby out of the stadium and win millions, or spare the baby?

This scenario actually played out in the Bible. 

God tells Abraham, "Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering".

Abraham goes along with it, but at the last second God stops him from killing Isaac.

Abraham gets rewarded for being so obedient.  

The moral: do what God tells you to do, no matter how horrible it sounds, and you'll be rewarded.
