BEHOLD, THE LAMB OF GOD

Joh 1:29 The next day he *saw Jesus coming to him and *said,

"Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

Thus began the ministry of the man called Jesus. Coming to John, the Baptist and humbly being Baptized, fully submersed in the name of His Father. Jesus found it necessary to fully submit to the Jewish law and to demonstrate to others His fleshly submission to the Word. Why did He come? Why was it necessary for this SINLESS man to suffer as He would in the course of His earthly ministry? Turn your Bible to Hebrews chapter ten and follow along;

Heb 10:4-7 For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. (5) Therefore, when He comes into the world, He says, "SACRIFICE AND OFFERING YOU HAVE NOT DESIRED, BUT A BODY YOU HAVE PREPARED FOR ME; (6) IN WHOLE BURNT OFFERINGS AND sacrifices FOR SIN YOU HAVE TAKEN NO PLEASURE. (7) "THEN I SAID, 'BEHOLD, I HAVE COME (IN THE SCROLL OF THE BOOK IT IS WRITTEN OF ME) TO DO YOUR WILL, O GOD.'"

Adam was created sinless. All of the animal blood sacrifice was only a temporary atonement of mans sins, begun by Adam. Only blood would suffice and God sent Jesus to shed HIS blood, ONCE FOR ALL, to forever atone for the sins of man, the sin that through Adam began. Jesus had to die, spill His blood so that you and I could be set free. This was the price for freedom from the horror of eternal damnation fully justified through our sinful ways born into us through the seed.

Isa 53:7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He did not open His mouth; Like a lamb that is led to slaughter, And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers, So He did not open His mouth.

Giving up your life so that another might live is the ultimate expression and demonstration of love. Jesus did just that. For YOU and for ME. All he asks is that you believe, and follow Him. He paid the price. He redeemed you with His own blood. He took your place at the executioner's hand.

1Pe 1:18-21 Knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, (19) but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ. (20) For He was foreknown before the foundation of the world, but has appeared in these last times for the sake of you (21) who through Him are believers in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.

Rev 5:12 ..."Worthy is the Lamb that was slain"...

Say yes to His gift. Open your heart to His healing. Let Him change you from the inside out. Let Him make you FREE. Come into me Lord Jesus. I am so tired of sin. Amen.
