Some Lamb!

AS WE GATHER
“Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” were the words John the Baptist spoke the day after he baptized his cousin, our Lord Jesus Christ. John reminds us of the global significance of Jesus’ coming to fulfill what Isaiah (49:6) wrote, “I will make you as a light for the nations, that My salvation may reach to the end of the earth.” Jesus lowered Himself to be a human being so that through His life, death, and resurrection everyone who believes in our Lord Jesus Christ might be saved and lifted up to be with Him in heaven where the Lamb sits on the throne.
