Beschreibung
Isaac's parents laughed at the thought of them having a son in their old age. Abraham, his father, perhaps thought that God was displaying a sense of humor. Sarah, his mother, just laughed at the idea of her bearing a child at her age. Perhaps this laughter or nonchalant attitude toward their promised son has caused many to overlook the Isaac narratives. While Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as patriarchs, have significance as the fathers of the Christian family, attention has primarily been given to the narrative messages from Abraham and Jacob. Some suggest that the attention of Isaac is rightfully given to Joseph. It is important that we understand each of the patriarch's narratives individually and collectively so we can draw from the lessons of their connecting messages.
Overlooking Isaac's message will cause you to miss the depth of his trauma on Mount Moriah and misunderstand the drama that plays out in the patriarchal family. Trauma and drama are not an Isaac-only issue. It is a family issue, and it requires the family's attention for their healing.
This book emphasizes the often overlooked message and narrative of Isaac. Glancing over the narrative of Isaac will leave every believer exposed to needless drama in their lives.
