\u201cHe was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201ceven as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cwho gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

John 1:29<\/b>\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, \u201cBehold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!\u00a0This is he of whom I said, \u2018After me comes a man who ranks before me, because he was before me.\u2019\u00a0I myself did not know him, but for this purpose I came baptizing with water, that he might be revealed to Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hebrews 1:3<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,<\/p>\n

Revelation 21:22<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0And I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb.\u00a0\u00a0And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb.<\/p>\n

The Lamb of God. \u00a0We hear this but to understand it we first must understand what “Lamb”<\/em> meant to the Jewish people. \u00a0In the Old Testament an animal blood sacrifice was required at the altar of God for the redemption of sins (forgiveness). … \u00a0We also see the symbolism when the Israelites were freed from Egypt. \u00a0. For I will pass through the land of Egypt that night, and I will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and on all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am the Lord. The blood shall be a sign for you, on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you….<\/em>\u00a0The lamb<\/b> became the symbol<\/b> of prime sacrifice. Jesus, by his death on the cross, became the sacrifice for all man’s sins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
