Throughout the years of His ministry the Lord bore the knowledge of His coming death. Over every step of His way there was the shadow of the cross. The crowds may wonder at “all things which Jesus did,” but He knew that the Son of Man would be delivered into the hands of men (Lk. 9:44). (“The Offering Up of Isaac: Genesis 22” by H. Smith)
