Sunday July 6, 2025 - Lamb of God
Chapter 6 Lamb of God Day 1
The Name:
Most of us picture lambs as downy white animals rolling around in fields or carried around on the shepherds' arms. Lambs represent gentleness, purity, and innocence.
Though it is one of the most tender images of Christ in the New Testament, it would represent a disturbing picture to those who heard John the Baptist hail Jesus with these words. These people had more than once carried their own lambs to the alter to be slaughtered as a sacrifice for their sins.
A lamb in which they had fed and bathed; the best animal in their flock. The bloody sacrifice of an innocent animal provided a vivid image of the consequences of transgressing the Mosaic law. Surely, John must have shocked his listeners by applying the phrase 'Lamb of God' to a living man.
When we pray to Jesus as the Lamb of God we are praying to the one that voluntarily laid down His life to take in His own body the punishment of our sins and for the sins of this world.
Key Scripture:
John 1:29 - The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
Father,
Thank You for coming as our Lamb of God and doing the thing that we could never do for our lives and saving our souls. If you had not come to us we would live in hell for eternity. Please help me to reach anyone I love that needs to accept You before the rapture and anyone else You bring into my life.
Thank You for saving me and help me to reach the girls.
In Jesus Name,
Amen
