If you are an only child, you are often spoiled. This is what people often think. But as an only child, you may also be treated overly cautiously. Children from large families are sometimes allowed a lot more.
Isaac was certainly treated with care by Sarah and Abraham. How kind they are to him. Then comes the command of the Lord: Take your child and sacrifice it!!!
What a trial for Abraham. God wants to show clearly: Abraham, you have received your son from Me and I can and may also demand him back!
You too are not the property of your father and mother.
Children are lent by the Lord to the parents.
Parents, who must take good care of you and above all tell you about the Lord God. We are not our own boss. God is and remains boss above boss.
Abraham obeyed, he is obedient and faithful to the Lord God. Are we also so obedient to Him?
Abraham’s descendant, the Lord Jesus is also obedient. Before His Heavenly Father He descended into a manger to shine light in a dark, dead world.
