I Peter 1:18,19
KJV
18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were
not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your
vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
19 But with the precious blood of
Christ, as of a Lamb without blemish and without spot:
Old Negro
Spirituals, called on Da Lamb Of God, or The Lamb Of God, and John
the Baptist, and Peter, spoke of The Lord Jesus Christ, God's Eternal
Son, as The Sacrificial Lamb Of God.
Romans 8:3 NLT
The law of Moses was unable to save
us because of the weakness of our sinful nature. So God did what the
law could not do. He sent His own Son in a body like the bodies we
sinners have. And in that body God declared an end to sin’s control
over us by giving his Son as a sacrifice for our sins.
The Lamb Of
God:
Isaiah 53:7 KJV
He was oppressed, and He was
afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth: He is brought as a Lamb to
the slaughter, and as a Sheep before her shearers is dumb, so He
openeth not His mouth.
I Corinthians
5:7 NLT
"...Christ, our Passover Lamb,
has been sacrificed for us.
Revelation
5:1-14 NLT
1 Then I saw a scroll in the right
hand of the one who was sitting on the throne. There was writing on
the inside and the outside of the scroll, and it was sealed with
seven seals.
2 And I saw a strong angel, who
shouted with a loud voice: “Who is worthy to break the seals on
this scroll and open it?”
3 But no one in heaven or on earth
or under the earth was able to open the scroll and read it.
4 Then I began to weep bitterly
because no one was found worthy to open the scroll and read it.
5 But one of the twenty-four elders
said to me, “Stop weeping! Look, The Lion Of The Tribe Of Judah,
The Heir to David’s throne, has won the victory. He is worthy to
open the scroll and its seven seals.”
6 Then I saw a Lamb that looked as
if it had been slaughtered, but it was now standing between the
throne and the four living beings and among the twenty-four elders.
He had seven horns and seven eyes, which represent the sevenfold
Spirit Of God that is sent out into every part of the earth.
7 He stepped forward and took the
scroll from the right hand of the one sitting on the throne.
8 And when He took the scroll, the
four living beings and the twenty-four elders fell down before
The Lamb. Each one had a harp, and
they held gold bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of
God’s people.
9 And they sang a new song with
these words:
“You are worthy to take the scroll
and break its seals and open it.
For you were slaughtered, and your
blood has ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and
people and nation.
10 And you have caused them to
become a Kingdom of priests for our God. And they will reign on the
earth.”
11 Then I looked again, and I heard
the voices of thousands and millions of angels around the throne and
of the living beings and the elders.
12 And they sang in a mighty chorus:
“Worthy is The Lamb who was
slaughtered— to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength
and honor and glory and blessing.”
13 And then I heard every creature
in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea. They sang:
“Blessing and honor and glory and
power belong to the one sitting on the throne and to The Lamb forever
and ever.”
14 And the four living beings said,
“Amen!” And the twenty-four elders fell down and worshiped
The Lamb.
Revelation
7:9-12 NLT
9 After this I saw a vast crowd, too
great to count, from every nation and tribe and people and language,
standing in front of the throne and before The Lamb. They were
clothed in white robes and held palm branches in their hands.
10 And they were shouting with a
great roar,
“Salvation comes from our God who
sits on the throne and from The Lamb!”
11 And all the angels were standing
around the throne and around the elders and the four living beings.
And they fell before the throne with their faces to the ground and
worshiped God.
12 They sang,
“Amen! Blessing and glory and
wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and strength belong to
our God forever and ever! Amen.”
Revelation
15:2-4 NLT
2 I saw before me what seemed to be
a glass sea mixed with fire. And on it stood all the people who had
been victorious over the beast and his statue and the number
representing his name. They were all holding harps that God had given
them.
3 And they were singing the song of
Moses, the servant of God, and the song of The Lamb:
“Great and marvelous are your
works, O Lord God, The Almighty. Just and true are your ways,
O King Of The Nations.
4 Who will not fear you, Lord, and
glorify your name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come and
worship before you, for your righteous deeds have been revealed.”
Revelation
21:22-27 NLT
22 I saw no temple in the city, for
The Lord God Almighty and The Lamb are its temple.
23 And the city has no need of sun
or moon, for the glory of God illuminates the city, and The Lamb is
its light.
24 The nations will walk in its
Light, and the kings of the world will enter the city in all their
glory.
25 Its gates will never be closed at
the end of day because there is no night there.
26 And all the nations will bring
their glory and honor into the city.
27 Nothing evil will be allowed to
enter, nor anyone who practices shameful idolatry and dishonesty—but
only those whose names are written in The Lamb’s Book of Life.
Long ago, Isaac
spoke to his father...
Genesis 22:7,8
KJV
7 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his
father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he
said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is The Lamb for a burnt
offering?
8 And Abraham said, My son, God will
provide Himself a Lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of
them together.
And God The Father,
did provide a spotless (sinless) Lamb for His sacrifice, Jesus Christ
His Son.
