Genesis 22:8

Gen. 22:8, "My son, God will provide a lamb for a burnt-offering." This was fulfilled in Christ.

Gen. 22:8. "God will provide Himself a lamb." Fulfilled in Christ. We may observe here an instance of the harmony between the Old and New Testaments, in that it is according to the Old Testament, as well as in that it is not unreasonable, that God Himself should provide the sacrifice by which sins against Himself should be atoned for, and His own anger appeased. Abraham did not only tell his son that God would provide Himself, but He actually did provide a ram for Abraham, to offer up as a burnt-offering. Again, we may observe here that which may confirm us, that the prophecies of the prophets often, according to the mind of the Holy Ghost, had respect to those things which the prophets themselves had no thought of. For Abraham, when he said "God will provide Himself a lamb," had no thought of any other than that Isaac was to be the lamb that was to be offered and that God had provided for Himself. See John 11:51.
