The Lamb
The Lamb of God is one of the most unique titles given to God’s Son. When John the Baptist saw the Lord Jesus walking towards Him, he exclaimed in spontaneous tribute, “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world” (John 1:29). The next day, when John again saw Him, he declared, “Behold the Lamb of God!” (John 1:36).
This was the One of whom it had been prophesied, “God will provide Himself a Lamb for a burnt offering” (Genesis 22:8). “The Lamb” sums up the obedience, the love, the sacrifice, the suffering, and the triumph of Christ.
It is the Lamb and His worthiness that will occupy us for all eternity!
“And 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…And they sung a new song…And I heard the voice of many…Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing” (Revelation 5:6,9,11-12).
How thankful we can be today for that sacrifice of the Lamb of God. He is worthy of all worship and praise!
