Bible Verse: "And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?" – Genesis 22:7 (KJV)

Isaac’s obedience and trust in God are evident in this verse, as he followed his father’s instructions and offered himself as a sacrifice. This act of faith foreshadowed the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who would later die for the sins of the world.
