One of the most unsettling accounts in the Bible, that of Abraham being asked by God to sacrifice his son, ironically shows His goodness and love for us. If we put our faith in God, if we listen to God, if we obey God, we will be rewarded. A few of Jesus’ disciples witnessed it with the Transfiguration, and we too can witness it if we trust in God’s will for us, if we have faith.
