  Testing Our Faith

  • Why does God test us? Why would God test someone as faithful as Abraham has already shown himself to be? What exactly is the test here? Is it a test of Abraham's absolute and unquestioning faith and obedience or is it a test of man's willingness to challenge God? Did Abraham pass or fail the test? In Abraham's place, what would you have done?

  Where Was Sarah?

  • Why do you think Isaac's mother is absent from this story? Do you think this story would be different if God had commanded Sarah, not Abraham, to sacrifice Isaac? In what ways?
