James 2:21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?

“Abraham pater noster nonne ex operibus iustificatus est offerens Isaac filium suum super altare”

Abraham is a very powerful example of faith, and his sacrifice to God and his willingness to give the most precious is used by the Apostle James as the greatest example of an effective/active faith.
Has anyone ever read or listened to a sermon or written research of Abraham’s sacrifice that had a great impact on him?

I found an impressive sermon of “Bishop Barron on Abraham, Isaac, and Christ”

 
Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you.”
“Only son, whom you love”…hm… Only begotten Son ?
This eliminates a somehow sinless man & Michael as the JW’s claim

Abraham answered, “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” And the two of them went on together.
Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram[a] caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son.
“ram caught in a thicket”…The sins of the world
