The Lamb of God
by Keith Greer

When God instituted the Passover in Egypt, saving Israel's firstborn from the final plague, He told each family to slay a lamb. This was an antitype for another lamb to come later-the Lamb of God.

The Lamb Provided. God willingly provided the sacrifice for our sins-a divine, gravely needed remedy for all mankind!

The Lamb Described. Our Lord was pure and without sin.

The Lamb Revealed. Jesus tried to get people to understand that He was the Messiah. They rejected Him because they wanted something else-an earthly king.

The Lamb Slain. He gave His life as a ransom for many {Luke 19:10}.

The Lamb Glorified. When Christ finished the work God sent Him to do, He returned to heaven. He understood that He had a limited amount of time to do His Father's work.

The Lamb Reigning. "In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month ... And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. "{Revelation 22:2,3} These verses clearly demonstrates that the kingdom is here now-not yet to come. Christ is ruling and reigning from His throne in heaven! Where would we be without the Lamb of God?
