WHAT'S MY ISAAC?

Reflections on TFB's June 8, 2008 Sunday sermon (the Kamper Kamp version).

I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Romans 12:1

Three days
knife in hand,
son at side,
servant and donkey,
he walks,
this man of God,
listening.

Up the mountain,
knife and son and fire,
this offering,
this deepest cut
into the soul of a long-waiting father,
yet he walks,
this man of God,
obeying.

At the altar,
son now bound,
knife raised,
ready to plunge and sacrifice,
stayed by The Voice,
redeemed by a thicket trapped ram,
now he walks,
this man of God,
declaring.

Genesis 22

Who or what is my Isaac?
