Unveiling the Legend
Isaac, the son of Abraham and Sarah, was a child of promise, born when his parents were very old. His birth was a direct answer to God’s promise to Abraham that he would be the father of many nations. Isaac’s story is deeply intertwined with God’s covenant with Abraham. His near-sacrifice by his father Abraham on Mount Moriah is one of the defining moments of his life, where he was a willing participant in God’s test of Abraham’s faith. Isaac went on to marry Rebekah, and together they had two sons, Esau and Jacob, through whom God’s promises to Abraham would continue. Isaac’s life is characterized by a quiet faith and steadfastness in the promises of God.
