Philippians 3:17 “Brethren, join in following my example, and note those who so walk, as you have us for a pattern.” (NKJV)

Abraham obeyed God, took a great risk against all odds, and today, we are celebrating him. But Abraham was not yet done!
Genesis 22:1 “And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, [here] I [am].”
Genesis 22:2 “And he said, Take now thy son, thine only [son] Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.”
Genesis 22:3 “And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him.”
He didn’t just take a risk by following God to an unknown destination; he made risk taking a lifestyle. Abraham went ahead and took another major risk, which was to sacrifice Isaac unto God!
This guy must be a “crazy” man. Who does that? Who waits for a child for 25 years and wakes up one day, pick up a knife and is ready to offer the same child as sacrifice?
I want to believe he didn’t tell Sarah! My personal opinion. I guess if he did, he would probably have had two people to offer as sacrifice.
