-On the third day Jesus rose from the dead, and was and is the sacrificial lamb that was offered up one time for all time for everyone. (On the 3rd day Abraham arrived at a place to offer his son as a burnt offering)
-Abraham trusted that the Lord would provide a lamb even though God told him to sacrifice his son. (Gen. 22:8)
---OPPOSING CIRCUMSTANCE---

2) Issac was his child, who he'd been waiting so many years to receive
