I watched "Bones" the other day

It isn't a show I watch frequently but,

The other day I was watching the television show, Bones.  In it the main character questions a bible story, the story about Abraham and Isaac.  I found the questions to be interesting and wished to be able to respond to them.  They will never read this I am sure but... I would like to throw it out there into Cyber Space anyway... to be lost or read, doesn't matter... I will feel like I was honest with myself :) 

On the surface the story of Abraham and Isaac may seem like God is whimsical and demanding asking for the utmost of a father and his child, an unreasonable sacrifice.  It was the very sacrifice He gave to us.  This story was not just for Abraham and Isaac to learn to be obedient, to give their all, or to have faith and trust in God that a way will be provided out of the worst in life, but it is also for you and me, to show us what it was that God gave us.  God spared Abraham and Isaac.  Our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ were not spared, there was no other offering to take their places.  God, the Father allowed for His Son to die for us, and it was His love of all of His children that allowed Him to do it.  A Latter Day prophet suggested that God hid in the corners of His universe because the pain was so excruciating, witnessing the suffering and pain of His Son, something the Savior had to do alone.  Jesus Christ, the Son, followed the will of the Father, and suffered for us, not only tasting the bitterness of sin as a whole, but I believe, tasting the tragedy and scope of sin, sorrow, illness, pain, death, suffering, all things for all of us, individually, so that individually he would know how to heal us.  It was the only way for us to Return Home.  It was the only way for us to find healing and be purified of our sins.  They both did it because They loved us.  What God asked Abraham and Isaac to do was a type of what Heavenly Father and Jesus would do for us.

John 3: 16

16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
