DAILY READINGS: Joshua 8; Isaiah 5; Luke 22:54 to 23:12
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? And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together. Genesis 22:7-8
"Where is the lamb?” is the great Old Testament question. “God will provide Himself a lamb” is the great New Testament answer. The Lamb was identified by John the Baptist, “Behold the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world” (John 1:29). Christ was the Lamb who was crucified for the sins of the world, your sins and mine, on Calvary. Is He your Saviour? —Milton Haack
Lamb of God, we fall before Thee, humbly trusting in Thy cross.
That alone be all our glory; all things else are only dross. —Joseph Hart
