Isaac to Jesus

Comparing the story of Isaac to Jesus and the gospels. There are astonishing parallels: 

  • Like Jesus, Isaac was miraculously conceived. Sarah, Isaac’s mother, was 90 years old when she bore Isaac and had been barren all her life; Abraham was 100 years old (Genesis 17:17).

  • Like Jesus, Isaac was his father’s beloved son (Genesis 22:2).

  • Like Jesus carried the cross, Isaac carried the wood for his own sacrifice (Genesis 22:6).

  • Like Jesus spending three days in the tomb before the resurrection, the journey to Moriah took three days (Genesis 22:4).
