PARALLELS BETWEEN ISAAC AND JESUS
Theme: ''God took Abraham's greatest trial and turned it into a testimony''
There is no clearer picture of the Cross and the sacrifice the Father made for us in Christ than Genesis chapter 22. Notice the powerful parallels between Isaac and Christ. Isaac is one of the clearest types of Christ in the Old Testament.
1. Both fulfilled PROMISES:
Isaac was the long-promised son to Abraham
Jesus was the long-promised Messiah and Son of God
2. Both were the ONLY SON of their father:
God said that Isaac was ''Your son, your only son, whom you love...''

Jesus by two thieves

Jesus carried the crossbeam of his cross
13. Both SUBMITTED to their father:
Isaac willingly laid down hi ...
