From the Message on Sunday

When a person sinned back in Old Testament times and broke one of God's covenantal laws, what was that person required to do? He or she would go to the temple and offer a sacrifice so that they could get right with God. And what was that sacrifice? A Lamb was often used. And what did they do the second time they sinned? That's right they took another lamb and another and another.

I believe that John calling Jesus the lamb of God is emphasizing the whole point of the Bible. John is saying that Jesus, the Lamb of God came to take care of our sin once and for all.

For a new believer or for a new Disciple back in Jesus day this signaled a new way to be connected to God. A direct connection to God that did not go through the priests at the temple. This was hard for them to understand. They would end up spending three years with Jesus figuring out what this meant.

En Agape',

Rev. Michael Weeks
