Collen, I think that what Sister Holland is saying is that if we draw a conclusion between Abraham and Issac being symbolic of the relationship between our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ (as if often taught)than we might search deeper and think about what archetype symbol Sarah might be in the story. Because it really starts to illuminate things when you think about her being a type of our Heavenly Mother, just like Abraham is portrayed as a type of our Heavenly Father. And also, just because she isn’t mentioned in the case of the sacrifice doesn’t mean that she isn’t a big player in Issac’s complete story!

Nothing is explicitly said about Sarah in that situation. I can’t speak for Sister Holland but I think her invitation is to engage such questions expecting that there is more than meets the eye in the scriptures, and to let the Spirit unfold truth for us.

We can only speculate as to her reaction. We are not told if she knew what was happening or her reaction. What do we learn from this?
