#2 LAMB OF GOD

40 DAYS WITH JESUS

#2  LAMB OF GOD  "John answered them saying, "I baptize in water, but among you stands One whom you do not know.  It is He who comes after me, the thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie."  These things took place in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.  The next day he saw Jesus coming to him and said "Behold, the LAMB OF GOD, who takes away the sin of the world!"  John 1:26-29

"He 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."  Isaiah 53:7

 Definition of LAMB

: a young sheep  : an innocent person

Jesus, You are the LAMB OF GOD who takes away the sin of the world!!  John was sent to announce who You were - He called you the LAMB OF GOD who takes away the sin of the world! Why did he call You that?  In Exodus, God commanded the Israelites to place the blood of a LAMB on the doorpost of their home - and when He passed over, if there was blood - no plague would destroy them - and they would be set free! (Exodus 12).   John called You the LAMB OF GOD who takes away the sin of the world - because You would be the LAMB who was slain to pay the payment for the sins of the entire world!!  Those who believed in You would be set free! Jesus, You understood why John was calling You the LAMB OF GOD - You KNEW that You were beginning the path to Your death by crucifixion - AND YET You chose to walk that path.   This was why You came!   Oh Jesus, it is more than I can comprehend that You would willingly walk this path for me - to die so that I would be set free!!  Open my eyes to see what You did for me by becoming the LAMB OF GOD who takes away my sin!!!  I fall down before You in worship, Jesus!!!

(Have you placed your trust in Jesus who was the LAMB OF GOD - who takes away the sin of the world?  Worship Him, praise Him and trust in what He has done for you today!!)#40dayswithjesus
