JESUS CHRIST is the lamb God-given to be slaughtered for us as a substitute for hell-deserving sinners. Now consider Abraham’s reply to His Son, God will provide Himself a Lamb. I want to convey two messages here.
God will provide: The God who gave His only begotten Son to save us shall provide for all our emergencies. His name is Jehovahjireh.
God will provide Himself a lamb for a (burnt) offering: I see this verse as a prophetic message of God. He’s going to provide Himself an offering. An offering to satisfy His just wrath on us. CHRIST tasted the wrath we should have tasted. The unbearable wrath that was on our heads was taken and put on His head. He tasted death inch by inch in place of us.
Propitiation:
“God saved you for Himself,
God saved you by Himself,
God saved you from Himself.” - Paul Washer.
God provided a lamb (resembling Christ) in place of Isaac (us). Don’t think of God as a sadist. Our God cares for us more than any blood relation could. Trust Him with all your heart like Abraham.
Moriah - means the Lord will provide. Calvary was one of the mountains in the land of Moriah where God foreordained CHRIST-the perfect lamb for us.
Clearly, this chapter is the foreshadowing of CHRIST.
Praise Jehovahjireh with me today.
