DAILY READINGS: 2 Kings 23; Lamentations 3; 1 Timothy 6
And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four
beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been
slain. Revelation 5:6a
Among all the animals of sacrifice which typify the Lord, the one
treasured above all others is the Lamb. Whether on the tree or the
throne, the Lamb pictures as well as preaches the message of the
Bible—man’s total ruin and God’s perfect remedy embodied in the
Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world. No wonder the
perfection of worship is realized in heaven in three doxologies; the
work of the Lamb (5:9); the honour of the Lamb (5:11-12); and the rule
of the Lamb (5:13-14). —Les Rainey
Lamb of God! Our souls adore Thee, while upon Thy face we gaze;
There the Father’s love and glory, shine in all their brightest rays.—J. Deck
