NOTE

Embrace Faith, Not Fear of Legacy

The story highlights the complexities of familial relationships and the emotions that arise from perceived favoritism and divine selection. Sarah's demand to separate her son from Ishmael reflects her fear of inheritance and the significance of lineage. Abraham's distress over Ishmael underscores his emotional bond and the tension between faith and past mistakes. The narrative reveals that Ishmael’s existence is tied to Abraham and Sarah's initial doubt in God's promise, suggesting that the consequences of lack of faith are not inherently negative but part of a larger divine plan.
