“Three days Abraham traveled with his son, having sufficient time to reason and doubt God. But he did not distrust God. . . Abraham believed that God meant just what He said when He bade him to go offer Isaac as a burnt offering. . .Abraham believed that God, who in His providence had given Sarah a son in her old age, and who had required him to take that son’s life, could also give life again and bring up Isaac from the dead. . .As they came to the place which God had pointed out to Abraham, he built an altar. . .Isaac had been taught implicit obedience to his father, and he loved and reverenced the God of his father. . .After affectionately embracing his father, he submitted to be bound and laid upon the wood. As his father’s hand was raised to slay his son, an angel called to him out of heaven. . . Abraham, by his faithfulness redeemed his lack of perfect trust in God. . .After the exhibition of Abraham’s faith and confidence, God renewed His promise to him.” The Story of Redemption, Pgs. 63-64
