- In Genesis, both Abraham and Sarah laughed when God told them that Sarah would have a child: Genesis 17:17 "Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?" Genesis 18:12 "Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?" In Luke's Gospel, Mary asked how she could become pregnant: Luke 1:34 "Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?"
This is an obscure prefigurement with many differences of detail, but it shows what a little ingenuity and imagination can do.
- In Genesis, Abraham was prepared to offer his son as a sacrifice to God. In the gospel, God gave his son for our salvation: John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
By identifying Abraham in the role of God, it is just possible to visualise the Genesis account as prefiguring the crucifixion of Jesus. Once again, there are many differences of detail.
