“It’s an affair of a moment, this whole thing; if only you wait a minute, you see the ram, and the trial is over.”
No—Abraham had to sit and wait, he had to really make the movement of the resignation and really think that he was sacrificing his son, and then he had to really believe that in spite of sacrificing his son he would receive his son back out of God’s goodness. If the trial was in a moment, he could have suspended his judgment and waited to see what God did.
This is another expression of man’s power to create faith for himself.
