How do we know that Isaac typifies Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Isaac's life events, particularly his relationship to the wells, symbolize aspects of Christ's ministry.

Isaac's association with wells, particularly the well of Lahai-roi, signifies the spiritual sustenance provided to believers. His act of digging wells corresponds to Christ's provision of living water as described in John 4:10. Just as Isaac faced challenges and yet sought to provide sustenance through the wells, Christ fulfills this role by offering Himself as the living water essential for spiritual life. This typology underscores the continuity of God's redemptive plan through both figures.
