Here am I
We have all heard this story in sunday school from our teachers and in the pulpit from our pastors many times. God has lighted different things to me at different times. Most times we look at Abraham's faithfulness. That is Abraham's driving force no doubt. I see also his willingness.
I know very well that his willingness would not be possible without his faith. Let's take a look at his willingness though.
Here am I sums up Abraham's whole attitude. Isaac is a picture of Christ here and it is a great picture but I don't think Abraham was any less willing to give his wife, his other son, his servants, or anything. Nothing that God asked for would have been too big. God chose Isaac cause he was the greatest thing that God had given.
We all wish for the faith of Abraham in this story, but I would also be happy with an ounce of the willingness that he showed as well.
