Abraham knew God called him. He knew God gave him victories
in war. He knew God gave him his son. But Abraham’s neighbors knew something
more. They knew gods were fickle and needed gifts, or else they’d take away
more than they offered. A real god wouldn’t let Abraham strut around with a
second perfect child. “So kill him,” they said. “Your god needs to know you’re
willing.”
Isaac knew God called him. He knew God loved and cared for
him. So he carried the wood for sacrifice and he trusted something good. Their
real God wasn’t fickle after all.
