The Akaidah and the Passion.

The Passion of the Christ is in many ways parallel with the Akaidah(Binding) story of Genesis 22. Christ carries the cross on His back to Calvary-Isaac carries the wood for the sacrifice. Isaac willingly allows himself to be the sacrifice for his father. Like Jesus and the Father, Abraham and Isaac are unified. There is also a sense of dispare in both willing "victims". Jesus crying "My God my God why have you forsaken me". And when Yaakov is confronted by Lavan after fleeing his home he says in Genesis 31:42 "Had not the God of Avraham and the Dread of Itzchak been with me..." After Crucifixion Christ disappears for a while before returning to His disciples- Isaac disappears from the narrative for a while until he reappears just before his wedding to Rebecca.
