“Calvary, Two Thousand Years Early”

Genesis 22: 8: “And Abraham said, ‘God will provide for Himself the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.’ So the two of them walked on together.” Abraham thought he was talking about Isaac himself; he had no idea of the ram awaiting in the bushes. How many people looked at Christ on the cross and knew that God had provided for Himself a lamb for the burnt offering? Few, if any. But He had.
