Isaac Being a Type of Christ

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bible Verses ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

Gen 22:2 And He said, Take now your son, your only son, whom 
you love, Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah and offer him 
there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I 
will tell you. (10) And Abraham stretched out his hand and 
took the knife to slaughter his son.

begotten Son, that every one who believes into Him would not 
perish, but would have eternal life.

Isaac typified Christ. Isaac was Abraham's only son. This 
typifies Christ as God's only Son. Isaac was Abraham's beloved 
son, and Christ was the Father's beloved Son in whom He 
delighted. ...In Genesis 22, we see that Isaac, a full-grown 
man, was obedient unto death. According to the record of this 
chapter, in the matter of offering Isaac, Abraham consulted 
neither with his wife Sarah nor with his son Isaac. Abraham 
took his son, put the wood upon him, led him up the mountain, 
bound him, and laid him on the altar. He did not give Isaac 
the opportunity to say anything. But Isaac took his father's 
will and was obedient to death. Likewise, when the Lord Jesus 
was about to die, He said, „Not as I will, but as You will.‰

Isaac was obedient unto the altar. He not only followed the 
father to the foot of the mount; he also obeyed him in taking 
up the wood and in being bound. He did not resist. Even when 
the father laid him on the altar, took the knife, and 
stretched out his hand to slay him, he did not rebel. He was 
obedient unto death. If we consider all these aspects of Isaac 
as a type of Christ as portrayed in the Old Testament, we 
shall see that they were sovereignly arranged, matching the 
clear word of the New Testament revelation.
