In the end, this book of beginnings points us to Jesus: the Lion of the tribe of Judah (cf. Rev. 5:5), the true King of Israel (cf. John 1:49), the Lamb of God for Isaac (cf. John 1:29), the ever-present friend of Abraham (cf. 2 Chron. 20:7), the ark of Noah’s salvation (cf. 1 Pet. 3:19-21), the life-giving last Adam (cf. 1 Cor. 15:45), and the Creator of the world (cf. Col. 1:16).
Each person of the Trinity—distinct, yet truly and equally God—graciously acts in bringing about the salvation of sinners. And the more we marvel at their work, the more our hearts are drawn into deeper communion with the God who saves.
