Isaac's Faith

[Tom Tighe]

Not as much is written about Isaac as the other patriarchs, but one thing stands out to me. Isaac is not an infant when Abraham goes to sacrifice him. He walked for 3 days, possibly carrying firewood and understood the requirements for a burnt offering. Some references place him as a teenager. Imagine the seen of a 110+ year old man trying to tie an unwilling teenage boy down to an alter for a sacrifice. Isaac had to be cooperative, which means he had to have a very strong and obedient faith in his father and his father's God.
