Genesis 22:5
"Abraham said to his young men, "Stay here with the donkey, and I and the lad will go over there; and we will worship and return to you."
A lie? Was Abraham only telling these men a half-truth by saying him and Isaac would return, knowing what the Lord had asked of him - that being to sacrifice his own son?
Not at all. He trusted with all his heart in the goodness of what the Lord commanded of him. Interesting thought below...
"Abraham's confidence that Isaac would return with him from the place of sacrifice stemmed from his explicit belief in resurrection." - Moody, Ryrie Study Bible
And if Abraham treasured keeping God's commands more than his own adored son - than in God his heart shall be too (according to Matthew 6:21).
