“Just as Abraham is raising the sacrificial knife, it says God stays his hand. God says you don't have to sacrifice your son, I believe you are faithful.”
“The text doesn't say anything about what Isaac felt. Isaac was not a baby, he was a boy. When they were going, he kept asking his father "Where is the sacrifice? Where is the lamb for the sacrifice?"
His father said "Don't worry, God will provide the sacrifice." They get up top and Abraham binds his son and lays him out on an altar.
If you were a 8, 9, 10 year old kid and your father did that to you, how would you ever get over that?
How could you ever trust your father again?”
