Part 2- Biblical Allusion: Abraham and Isaac

Abraham and Isaac   Biblical Allusion   Source: Genesis 22

• Abraham feared God and obeyed his commandments
• God told Abraham to take his son Isaac, and to journey to Mount Moriah
• There he built an altar and offer Isaac as the sacrifice
• A story of sacrifice and love

Commentary: This Allusion shares the same parallels as God himself. God himself sacrifices his own son, Jesus. Jesus dies and pays for the sins and his sins are washed away upon his death, this is similar to Abraham and Isaac.
