While Gen appreciated the fact that one family in town thought him good enough for their daughter—double-bastard and bard-apprentice notwithstanding—the way her parents looked at him, like one would look at a cart horse before buying it, set Gen’s skin to crawling.

Abraham had laid his son on the table of sacrifice, knowing that, were he to be killed, the entire hope for the future, all of God’s promises, would be gone (Gen. 22:1–14).

Flesh and blood gave us our physical existence, but flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God.
