THE BIRTH OF ISAAC
The LORD graciously remembered and visited Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did for her as He had promised.
So Sarah conceived and gave birth to a son for Abraham in his old age, at the appointed time of which God had spoken to him.
Abraham named his son Isaac (laughter), the son to whom Sarah gave birth.
So Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, just as God had commanded him.
Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born.
Sarah said, “God has made me laugh; all who hear [about our good news] will laugh with me.”
And she said, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? For I have given birth to a son by him in his old age.” [Heb_11:12]

BIRTH OF ISAAC
God is faithful. Heaven and earth may pass, but His word cannot fail. We may wait until all human hopes have died, and then, at “God’s set time,” the child is born. Abraham laughed at the first announcement of this event, Gen_17:17. Later, as Sarah listened to the conversation between her husband and his mysterious guests, she laughed with incredulity, Gen_18:12-15. But now, in the joy of long-deferred motherhood, she found that “the Lord had prepared laughter for her,” and so named her child Isaac. See R.V. margin. Be of good cheer. The Lord has prepared laughter for you also, some few miles ahead on life’s journey. Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright. O thou afflicted, He shall lay thy stones in fair colors! And when thy joy comes, rejoice in it. “Thou shalt rejoice in every good thing which the Lord thy God giveth thee.” But in those hours think kindly of others, and do not forget that some, like Hagar, may be disappointed by what gives thee joy!

8. Isaac, Son of the Promise (Chap. 21)21:1-10
When the promised son was born to Abraham and Sarah, the ecstatic parents named him Isaac (“laughter”), as commanded by God (Gen_17:19, Gen_17:21). This expressed their own delight and the delight of all who would hear the news. Isaac was probably from two to five years old when he was weaned. Ishmael would have been between thirteen and seventeen. When Sarah saw Ishmael mocking Isaac at the weaning party, she ordered Abraham to cast out Hagar and her son. Paul interprets this action as evidence that law persecutes grace, that law and grace cannot be mixed, and that spiritual blessings cannot be obtained on the legal principle (Gal_4:29).
