Question for Our Holiest Seasons

This is a photo of a portion of "Sacrifice of Isaac" by Italian Andrea del Sarto (1486-1530). It hangs in the Cleveland Museum of Art. It is unfinished, but finished versions are in museums elsewhere. It pictures the moment when God tells Abraham not to sacrifice Isaac, thus rescinding God's earlier order.



I wonder: what if Abraham had been so attached to God's old order that he had refused to heed God's new one?

What if I am?
