Read Genesis 21 (The Birth of Isaac)
Has God ever given you the sort of blessing that made you want to invite friends to laugh with you? (21:6)
Why do they name the son, "Isaac"?
Who gets the last laugh in this story?
Why is 21:4 important?
From Sarah's perspective, why send away Hagar & Ishmael? (21:8-10)
Abraham was upset because of both love and law. Why did God tell him to send away Hagar and Ishmael? (21:11-13)
What insight does St. Paul give us? (Galatians 4:21-31; Romans 9:6-9)
How does God treat Hagar? (21:13-21)
What does God's choice of Isaac over Ishmael tell us about God?
Why does Abimelech make Abraham swear not to deal falsely with him? (21:23) (Skim Ch. 20 for a hint)
Compare 21:22-34 and Genesis 23:3-16. What does this tell us about Abraham's relationship with the Canaanites? What can we learn from this?
How does this story relate to Jesus?
