Our faith doesn’t grow in our comfort zone. God is ready to test and grow Abraham’s faith capacity, leading to him to his biggest challenge of obedience yet. God asks Abraham to go to mountain and sacrifice his only son, Isaac, as an offering. How could God ask Abraham to sacrifice his son?

At first glance, it sounds like God is after Abraham’s son Isaac. That, in some twisted way, God wants this human sacrifice. God doesn’t require human sacrifice, nor does he want Abraham to sacrifice his son. That’s not who God is. God’s not after Abraham’s son. He’s after Abraham’s obedience.
Abraham responds with prompt and complete obedience, trusting that God will provide.
