”And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.” | Genesis 25: 5

There are many places in the book of Genesis where Isaac is typical of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Isaac was the promised seed. “And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.” (Genesis 21: 12)

Isaac voluntarily laid upon the altar as a sacrifice in total obedience to his father. “” (Genesis 22: 9)

It was Isaac that had his bride sought out by his father and drawn to him through the word of his father’s servant. “But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.” (Genesis 24: 4)

It is in our text that Isaac, as the sole heir of Abraham, is given all that his father had. What a glorious picture of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Promised Seed, the Substitute and the Sacrifice for sin, that heavenly Bridegroom who is the heir of all that belongs to God His Father.

However, this verse makes us aware of another blessed fact and truth that may not at first be seen.

Rebekah, the sought-out bride of Isaac, being his wife, also shared in father Abraham’s inheritance. She is a beautiful picture of the believer, the chosen bride, who is made a joint-heir with Christ. All the wealth, comfort and pleasure that Isaac enjoyed as Abraham’s heir, Rebekah also enjoyed as Isaac’s wife. Doesn’t that blessed thought and truth make the apostle Paul’s words “And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.” (Romans 8: 17) even more glorious to God’s people?

Truly, all that God the Father has given to His beloved Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, has also been given to the elect of God who were chosen to be His bride before the foundation of the world. All that is God’s belongs to Christ. All that is Christ’s belongs to His Bride. The children of God are heirs of God, because they are joint-heirs with Christ, and they are joint-heirs with Christ because they are the children of God.

Everything that God is going to do for His people, He is going to do through His Son, His Heir, our Lord, Savior and heavenly Husband, Jesus Christ.
