Thanks brother. And still praying for you and your job stuff.

In a RCIA class I am assisting with we recently discussed this topic. Obviously we were going over the prefigurement to the sacrifice of Christ. I like most people had always assumed that Isaac was a young child. Although the scripture never specifically names his age at the time we found out there is a tradition that he was much older possibly even around 33 years old. This makes sense because he had to carry the wood for the alter up the mountain, and also he would have been more aware of what was going on. God did provide the Ram for the sacrifice but also Christ was both the son of God and Abraham, so in a way Abraham still did sacrifice his son. I just found it interesting that there was a lot more to contemplate with this story than I ever had in it relationship to the crucifixion.

Never thought about Christ as Abraham's son in the context of sacrifice. Cool.
