In the book of Genesis we read of Abraham being willing to sacrifice Isaac, his son of promise on the altar, if God required it of him. There follows I believe one of the clearest words of prophecy in all of Scripture looking forward to Calvary.

Genesis 22:8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide HIMSELF a lamb for a burnt offering.

Not only was God going to provide a lamb, He was going to provide HIMSELF as that Lamb.

2 Corinthians 5:7 For God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself. 

Yes, there was a lamb that day provided to take the place of Isaac BUT what is more important to you and me today is there was a Lamb that was provided to take our place.

Hebrews 10:5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:

Genesis 22:11 Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son. And Abraham called the name of that place JEHOVAH JIREH
