We come now to what was the greatest test and at the same time, the highwater mark in Abraham's walk of faith. There are two dominant themes intertwined throughout the passage:
 The principle of total surrender to the will of God; placing all on the altar. Abraham's complete submission to God's will is on display at this time of his life like no other.  The picture of Christ and Calvary. Christ can be found in all the Scriptures (Luke 24:27) but there are some O.T. passages of Scripture where the typology is especially rich and Genesis 22 is one of those passages. We know from Hebrews 11:17-19 that Isaac is a type of Christ in this passage so we are on solid grounds to read it in that way.
The typology in the passage is thrilling. The challenge to surrender all to the Lord as Abraham did is stirring!
