HOW THE STORY OF ISAAC POINTS TO JESUS:
1) Both Isaac and Jesus are "beloved sons" who have been long awaited and are born in miraculous circumstances (Genesis 22:1)
2) Both sons carry the wood that is to be the instrument of their death on their back. (Genesis 22:6)
3) In both cases, the father leads the son, and the son follows obediently toward his own death. (Genesis 22:3)
4) God provides the sacrifice, which Abraham says will be a lamb. (Genesis 22:8)
Jesus was also an innocent son who went willingly up the mountain to be crucified.
