About This Product
Excerpt from the booklet:
"Again the next day after... looking upon Jesus as He walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!" Not only is He the sin-bearer, but He is the Lamb of God in whom God could find His perfect satisfaction and delight, and who, as a burnt offering on the cross, was a sweet savor before Him. Disciples follow Him as they hear John's words, and the gladness spreads from one to another, that the Messias, the Christ, the anointed One of God, is found. Jesus Himself calls Philip who later finds Nathanael, who confesses Him as Jesus of Nazareth of whom Moses in the law and the prophets did. write. Nathanael confesses Him as the Son of God and the King of Israel; and Jesus says to him, "hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man." So this precious portion closes with a foreshadowing of that blessed day for this poor earth when, the curse being removed (Rev. 22:3), Jesus, Son of God and Son of man, shall reign as King of Israel. Then all things shall be gathered in one in Him, both in heaven and on earth (Eph. 1:10).
How wondrously the Holy Spirit brings before our souls in this chapter the manifold glories of the Person of God's beloved Son! Surely every heart that knows Him and His love must bow in worship, adoration, and praise, as we think of Him who is the everlasting Word, God, the mighty Creator, and yet who has become a Man that He might glorify God, accomplish redemption, and eventually deliver this groaning scene. This is He who is now seated at the right hand of the Majesty in the heavens, crowned with glory and honor, the triumphant Savior in the eternal glory of God.
"Thou art the everlasting Word,
The Father's only Son;
God manifest, God seen and heard,
The heaven's beloved One;
Worthy, O Lamb of God, art Thou
That every knee to Thee should bow."
May God engage our hearts' affections more and more with His blessed Person, and give us a holy jealousy for the glory of His name.
