The Pet Lamb

From: Messages of God's Love: 1942

Many of our little readers have pet lambs smaller than the one in the picture. Others have never been near one to touch its woolly coat, or see it frisk about the pasture.

God’s Word speaks of Jesus as the Lamb of God. Even when He, the Creor God, was suffering the greatest iustice at the hands of men, and was wicdly nailed to the cross, He still maintained the character of a iamb at the slaughter (Isa. 53:7⁷He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. (Isaiah 53:7)).

He is now in the glory, risen to die no more. There the apostle John saw Him,

“A Lamb as it had been slain,” Revelation 5:6⁶And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. (Revelation 5:6).

He endured all the suffering and the judgment due to rebellious creatures that He might save us. Do come to Jesus while you are young, and live your life for Him. You will never be truly happy till you know that your sins are forgiven.

“Behold the lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” John 1:29²⁹The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. (John 1:29).
