Why is the binding of Christ significant?

Christ's binding is profoundly significant both theologically and symbolically. In John 18:12, Jesus is taken and bound, which foreshadows His role as the sacrificial Lamb of God. Just like Isaac was bound by Abraham (Genesis 22:9), Christ willingly accepted the bindings as an act of obedience to the Father’s will. This act illustrates not only His submission but also the fulfillment of the Old Testament sacrificial system, maintaining God's perfect justice while allowing Him to show mercy. Moreover, the binding of Christ signifies that He voluntarily took upon Himself our sins, as He was 'made a curse for us' (Galatians 3:13), demonstrating His profound love and commitment to redeem His people.
