Thy Son—My Son

"Thy Son"—"My Son."—Touching indeed in its pathos is Genesis 22, the record of Abraham's trial. God said, "Take now thy son, thine only son, whom thou lovest, even Isaac," and offer him. How the heart of the loving father was torn! The very words in which the command is couched made the deed harder.
