My preaching instructor e-mailed me to day. My assumed audience for the Abraham and Isaac story is a multi-ethnic church. Specifically focusing on covering all of how a grandmother, young father, teenager, and single adult would deal differently with the emotions of the story.
If you are or have been one of these categories, please enlighten me on the questions you have, concerns you have, or emotions you have from the Abraham and Isaac story.
If you don't fit one of these specific categories, feel free to offer your assumptions about what any of those categories may feel.

When I was a teenager and young adult, I did not realize the love relationship that comes from a parent to a child. It is unlike any other love relationship that you have. It is so much harder for me to imagine Abraham being willing to sacrifice his son as a parent than it was before I became a parent. How could God ask Abraham to kill his own child and how could Abraham live with himself if he had murdered Isaac? Murder is what I would call it today but I realize that in Abraham's time it was not murder. This also makes me question whether I have the belief that I need to truly follow God's word or am I just a pick and choose follower who only obeys the things that are easy for me and that I agree with.
