“And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.”
Genesis 22:13 KJV
The ram caught in the thicket is a picture of Christ being caught in the thicket of our sins, our Substitute as the ram was for Isaac. Abraham had seen Jesus as our Substitute because Jesus had said to those who questioned him, that “your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day: and he saw it, and was glad.” Abraham looked to the future by faith and saw the Cross, we see the Cross into the past by faith to know Christ as our Substitute. Let’s be glad and rejoice that we have become righteous through Christ because He became sin, Who knew no sin. Thank You Jesus for being our Substitute. Amen!
