The Passing of Isaac

Isaac’s quiet faith and legacy show God’s promise endures across generations.

How do we leave a legacy of faith? Isaac’s final chapter is marked by quiet trust in God and a commitment to pass on the covenant to the next generation. Despite his imperfections, Isaac understood that God's promise was unchanging and would outlast his lifetime. Galatians 4:28 reminds us that, like Isaac, we are “children of promise.” Our faith isn't just for us — it's a light for those who follow. By living faithfully and trusting God’s enduring covenant, we leave behind more than memories; we leave a legacy of hope, reconciliation, and faithfulness. What legacy are you building? Trust God’s promise and let it guide those who come after you.
