Bris Mila is two things: 1) a Mitzva, 2) A covenant. In as much as it is a Mitzva what we do today is separate from what the Avos did, but in as much as it is a Covenant, we continue to bring our children into the Covenant of Avrohom Avinu.

Avrohom’s life divided into two: before and after the Bris. Before he was doing Judaism (like a brick) afterwards he was Jew, a representative of God on this earth (like a stone which is natural and not like a brick which is artificial).

Bris Mila is another step in Avrohom’s spiritual climb. It was the first (and only) Mitzva that he did that actually elevated the physical.

Yishmael’s Bris was rational and that is a liability compared with Yitzchok’s super-rational bond. It is the basis of the Jewish people and that they are a miraculous people attached to Hashem higher than reason, from infancy.
