“And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you?”
Isaac asked them: why have you come to me, since you were hostile to me and sent me away? The question is honest and direct: you expelled me; now you're here. The directness of Isaac's question is the directness of a man who knows his own story and names it without resentment but without pretense. Ephesians 4:15 calls for speaking the truth in love. The application: naming the history of a relationship honestly — you were hostile to me — is the foundation for a renewed relationship that is genuinely different from the previous one.
