Our Lord Jesus Christ.

When you read Genesis 22:1-13 you will find that In this chapter before us is a picture of our Lord Jesus Christ. This picture before us is actually a Polaroid, one that develops and becomes more clearly focused as we go along. 
          Notice (verse 1-2) because God does not remember our sin, (Hebrews 10:17) says "And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more." He doesn't even acknowledge Ishmael, who was the fruit of Abraham's impatience. Isaac is a picture and a type of Jesus Christ. We see this in four areas:
* Just as Isaac was conceived miraculously when barren Sarah was ninety years old, he was a miracle baby. So also born of a virgin, Jesus was a miracle baby. 
* Isaac's birth was promised long before he showed up, twenty years before he was born. So too Jesus birth was promised clear back in (Genesis 3:15) years before his birth in Bethlehem. 
* Abraham and Sarah were told what to name their son. So too Joseph and Mary were told what to name their son. 
* To his father, Isaac was obedient to the point of death. So it was also to His Father, Jesus was obedient unto death.
So we can see the parallels are many and Isaac and Jesus are linked together and Isaac is the type and Jesus is the fulfillment. This is just one of many throughout the Bible as you read it you will see that Jesus in seen from Genesis to Revelation. This is why reading, studying, and mediatating on the Word of God is so important everyday. Let's get in it and let the Lord speak to us today.
