Did God command writer-director David Helling to make His Only Son (2023)? And if so, couldn’t He have changed His mind at the last minute?

This is the story of Abraham and Isaac. It's a small movie, nothing fancy, but I really liked it. It's slow and quiet, but by the end I could feel how hard it was for Abraham. It made me think.

Watching Abraham being asked to sacrifice his only son made me feel sad and think deeply about the love a father has for his child. The three-day journey made me realize the gravity of the trial he was going through, especially since he didn’t know how things would end. It made me wonder, “Do I have faith like his?” This film taught me that faith is not just believing when things are easy, but continuing to believe even when your heart doesn’t understand why things are happening.

This movie is a true reminder that faith is tested most when we are going through difficult times. Despite the pain and uncertainty Abraham faces, he continues to trust God and follow His direction. His faith reminds me of times in my own life when I had to trust God even when I did not understand everything.
