DAILY?READINGS: 1 Chronicles 1; Ezekiel 2 to 3:15; 2 Timothy 3
Again the next day after John stood…and looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God! John 1:35-36
And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne…stood a Lamb as it had been slain… Revelation 5:6
John announced Jesus as the Lamb of God. It is interesting that John “stood”. The primary purpose of his ministry was done. Now he looks on Jesus as he “walked”. He had further, much further, to go! The following years would see the fulfilment of John’s words as He hung on the cross, the Lamb of Calvary! In Revelation the language changes, “…in the midst of the throne…stood a Lamb as it had been slain…“. The victory was won. He had no further to go! —Drew Craig
Dwelling in eternal sunshine, of the countenance of God,
Jesus fills all heav’n with incense, of His reconciling blood. —R. Chapman
