The
cup remaining
taken
to Christ’s lips
the
stain of our rebellion
turning
Him crimson for the cross
Unlike
Isaac
no
reprieve for Jesus
this
Father knowing
the
ultimate sacrifice
His
son dying
in
His faithfulness
both
Father and Son knowing
death
upon the cross

“Unlike Isaac”
Genesis 22:1-19
Abraham faithful in
sacrificing
his first born son Isaac,
God providing substitute
lamb;
Christ becoming the
sacrificial lamb
with no substitution;
the pain of the Father on
Good Friday
when his son died for us.
&
Hebrews 10:1-14
Christ was the one priest
able to make
one sacrifice for all time
&
John 11:32-44
John 11:35
“Jesus wept” for his friend
Lazarus,
though he knew he would rise
&
Jeremiah 31:15
Rachel crying for her
children
who are no more
