Jesus is the true and better:

· Jesus is the true and better Isaac who was not just offered up by his father on the mount but was truly sacrificed for us all while God said to Abraham now I know you love me because you did not withhold your son, your only son, whom you love from me. Now we at the foot of the cross can say to God now we know that you love us because you did not withhold your son, your only son whom you love from me.
