The Lamb of God #1

The next day John [the Baptist] saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold!  The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!”  (John 1:29, NKJV).
The Lamb of God bore the sin of the people.

• The Lamb of God bore the guilt of the congregation, (Lev. 10:17).
• The Lamb of God takes the sin of the congregation away from them, (Lev. 16:22).
• The Lamb of God bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors, (Isa. 53:12).
• The Lamb of God was offered once to bear the sins of many, (Heb. 9:28).
• The Lamb of God bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sin, might live for righteousness — by whose stripes we are healed, (1 Pet. 2:24).
• We know that the Lamb of God was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin, (1 Jn. 3:5).

The Lamb of God is the Lord of lords and the King of kings!  And we say with confidence, “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain.”  (See Rev. 17:14; 5:12).
