Day 23 of Advent - Jesus is the Lamb of God


DAY 23: JESUS IS THE LAMB OF GOD

Well, there are only two more days until Christmas. How exciting! Today the name of Jesus that I am exploring is that Jesus is the Lamb of God. I love how John the Baptist introduced us to our Savior at the start of his ministry!

John 1:29 Behold, the Lamb of God
The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

and the Disciple John in his end of life Revelation:

Revelation 5:12
saying with a loud voice, “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!”

Jesus is the everlasting payment of sin. From the time of the Exodus from Eqypt the Jewish People killed a passover lamb to remind themselves of how the angel of death had passed over them. Jesus came to be the perfect and final payment of our sins and to give us everlasting relationship with God....thru himself as our sacrifice.

So make ornaments with your kids out of cotton balls and add them to your tree. Reminding us that Jesus came and paid for our sin. He is the Lamb of God!
