Reflection: Lamb of God: When we consider Jesus as the Lamb of God, we understand the deep symbolism of sacrifice. In the Old Testament, a sacrifice was made in order to please God, to make things right with Him. This was a significant act of worship to God. In the story of the Exodus, the lamb played a crucial part in God saving His people through their sacrificing a lamb and painting the lamb (or goat’s) blood on the doorpost of their house. This would save them. A lamb without blemish. When we look to Christ, we see Him as the ultimate fulfilment of sacrifice. A lamb without blemish and free from accusation, Jesus took upon Himself the punishment that belongs to us. Jesus is the ultimate end to God’s plan for the salvation of the world.

In Revelation 5:9, we see the living creatures and elders fall before the lamb because He purchased all of the people with His blood. We thank God for Jesus, the Lamb of God.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, we thank you that while we will never be good enough, Christ Jesus, the lamb of God, is good enough. We thank and Praise you for your goodness in bringing your Son into the world to live the perfect life, to die and to be raised again that we might trust in you. Amen.
