Sarah lied to the angel because she was afraid (Genesis 18:9-15). When told she would have a long-awaited child, she instinctively laughed at the idea because she was, by then, 90 years old(Genesis 17:17), but the angel was very clear that NOTHING is impossible for God. His rebuke was a reminder to Abraham and Sarah, and to anyone reading The Bible throughout the centuries that followed, that NOTHING is too extraordinary for God.(Matthew 19:26/Luke 1:37/James 1:5-8). Sarah's son was appropriately named "Isaac", meaning 'laughter'(Genesis 21:1-7).
