As we've been exploring over the past weeks, the scriptures are full of extraordinary, complicated and often even R-rated characters and stories that together portray the many ways imperfect humans take part in the purposes of God. And then there's Isaac. A miracle child of Abraham and Sarah, finally, here we have a simple, even a bit naive, but deeply faithful and trusting person. True, he's part of a complicated family living in complicated times, yet in meaningful ways Isaac is one of the earliest biblical characters who clearly "pre-figure" Jesus (we'll talk more about what that means)… Isaac is a big part of the way the Bible sets the stage for the Lord!
