Today's story is found in your Bibles - you can read it in Genesis 22.
Isaac was sleeping soundly on the mat in his tent home, when God spoke to his father Abraham.
“Abraham,” God called.
Abraham said, “Here I am, Lord.”
“Take your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah. Build an altar there and offer Isaac on it as a burnt sacrifice to Me.”
Abraham could not believe his ears. Abraham had waited many years for this promised child. He did not understand why God now wanted him to sacrifice his precious son.
But Abraham had learnt to obey God’s commandments, and so he got out of bed and walked over to where Isaac lay asleep. Abraham wept as he looked at his son. They would not have very much time left to spend together. Abraham dried his tears as best he could, then shook Isaac. Isaac opened his eyes sleepily.
