My evening devotion; The Lamb of God ; John 1:9-29; We use many names for Jesus-Christ, Teacher, Messiah, Prophet, and King, among others.But one name stands out as a comprehensive description of the Lords purpose: the Lamb of God.His miracles and teachings were all remarkable, but even greater was His death on the cross..Our Saviors sacrifice was the heart of the Fathers plan for mankind.Since the beginning , God has dealt with the sins of His people through a blood offering.He Himself offered the first sacrifice when He killed an animal and used its skin as covering for Adam and Eve.The fig leaves they were wearing could cover their bodies but not their wrong doing.Leviticus 17:11 tells us that the life is in the blood and it is the blood by reason of the life that makes atonement Ezekiel adds The soul.who sins will die (18:4).Sin always requires death because of the righteous. and holiness of God.. Either a life must end as payment for sin, or a life must be given as payment for anothers wrongdoing. The way God has always dealt with.mans transgression is through sacrifice .Jesus came as the sin-bearer for the.entire world.He assumed full responsibility for all our iniquity and guilt so we can be free from punishment .By His death were made righteous and holy in Gods eyes.Why is it.important to refer to.Christ as the Lamb of God? Because doing so acknowledge the substitutions death wherein God unleashed His full fury and righteous judgement upon Jesus.As a result we can stand before God and say Thank you that I can call You my Father I love you all enjoy your evening! ♡♡♥♥♥!
