Did Isaac resist or struggle when Abraham laid him on the altar?
No, Scripture gives no indication that Isaac struggled or fought back when Abraham laid him on the altar. Instead, the account presents him as completely obedient, allowing Abraham to place him upon the altar without resistance. This Old Testament event served as a preview of Christ's obedience unto death.
Les explains that the Old Testament account of Abraham laying Isaac on the altar was a preview of what took place in the New Testament. He points out that Scripture gives no indication Isaac struggled, fought back, or tried to lay Abraham low. Instead, Isaac, in complete obedience, let Abraham lay him upon the altar. Les connects this to Christ, who was obedient unto that kind of death, and to God not sparing His Son but giving Him up.
And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.
