Worship- The Meaning

"Stay here with the donkey," Abraham told the servants. "The boy and I will travel a little farther. We will worship there, and then we will come right back."
(Genesis 22:5)
The law of first mention states that if something appears for the first time in the bible,
There is a significance to it.

In the above verse, the word "worship" appeared for the first time in the bible.
In this context, Abraham was about to sacrifice Issac on a certain mountain.
He called that act, "worship"

And on the same mountain, The Son of God Jesus became the ultimate sacrifice,
the ultimate worship to God for us.

Notice how Jesus was dropping hints on His plans to send Jesus?
God referred to Issac as Abraham's Only son.
Jesus was God's only son.

Abraham told his servants he was going up the mountain to "worship"
Jesus on the cross, arms opened wide, does it remind you of your posture when worshiping?
