Birth of Isaac

​1 And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken.
2 For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
3 And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.

God repeatedly Abraham to give him very many offspring. And He made a covenant with him. (Gen. 17) The promise to Abraham and Sarah to give them a son of their own flesh and blood was fulfilled in Genesis 21. Isaac (=he laughs) was born. God said: ‘It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned’, and: ‘But My covenant I will establish with Isaac’ (Gen. 17:21) The Messiah would be a descendant of Isaac. At Isaac’s birth Sarah said: ’God has brought me laughter, and everyone who hears about this will laugh with me.’ God made the birth of her son possible despite her barrenness. Hebr. 11:11 ‘And by faith even Sarah, who was past childbearing age, was enabled to bear children because she considered Him faithful who had made the promise’. Gal. 4:28 makes clear that Christians are, like Isaac, children of the promise, because the blessing of Abraham comes to them through Christ Jesus. (Gal. 3:14) Gal. 3:29: ‘ If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.’
