Abraham’s Faith in Offering Isaac

"Did Abraham think that God would provide a lamb instead of Isaac?" is a question that comes to us for answer. We read in Heb. 11:17-19 that Abraham offered Isaac, through faith in God, "accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead." If Abraham had expected that God was going to provide a substitute, there would have been no occasion for faith in the resurrection, and the matter would have been no trial at all.
