DAILY?READINGS: Numbers 16:1-40; Proverbs 13; 1 Peter 5
Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. John 1:29
“The Lamb of God” is the most unique title given to God’s Son. John saw the Lord Jesus coming towards him and cried out in a spontaneous tribute, “Behold the Lamb of God.” In so doing he drew the attention away from himself and focused solely on the “Lamb of God.” William Barclay writes, “One word (Lamb) sums up the love, the sacrifice, the suffering and the triumph of Christ.” John recognizes that this Lamb alone can effectually deal with the sin problem. The Lamb not only took our guilt, but He took our sin out of the way, once for all, (Heb. 10:12). Thank God for the sacrifice of the Lamb. —Jim Comte
