11 This is because the life of the body is in the blood. And I have given you rules for pouring that blood on the altar. You must do this to remove your sins so you will belong to the Lord. It is the blood that removes the sins from your life so you will belong to the Lord. Leviticus 17:11 (ICB)

Sacrament Lamb of God

One day as I read through the story of the crucifixion, I spent several hours deliberating over the words of Christ when He cried in anguish from the cross, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken Me?"

The idea that the Father would allow His Son to suffer the torture of crucifixion is beyond me... the humiliation of nakedness, the searing pain, the smell of blood and sweat, the agony of tears, the spit of drunken soldiers, the scorn of a laughing, jeering mob.

When the crowd thinned and the cowards took shelter from the lashing storm, Jesus was left alone. As tears mingled with blood on His battered face, He cried out to His Father--the One who had not once turned away from Him in all of eternity.

The reply was cold, unmoving silence. In those horrible moments God Himself poured the judgment for our sins upon Jesus. Every sin imaginable: lusting and lying... cheating and coveting... murder and hypocrisy... cruelty and deceit. Of course, Christ had never been guilty of any of those sins. But we are. And every one of your sins and mine was racked up on His account right there on that cross.

Surely he took up our infirmities
and carried our sorrows... .
He was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was upon him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to his own way;
and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
(As the prophet testified)
(Isaiah 53:4, 5-6)

So where was God's goodness in treating Christ so?Where was the Father's kindness in turning His back on His only Son while Jesus cried out in horror and grief?

On that terrible, wonderful day, God's goodness and kindness were directed toward you. God forsook His own Son... so that He would never have to forsake you! And because of those dark hours two thousand years ago, God can say to me, "I will never leave you. I will never forsake you."

As I pondered that amazing thought, I felt ashamed. The goodness of God was indeed leading me to repentance. To think that God's anger for my sins was poured out on Christ--and that He has no anger left for me!

You know what that makes me want to do? Praise Him. Thank Him. Honor Him. Obey Him with all my heart and soul and mind.Unlike Christ, I will never have to agonize over separation from my Father. And neither will you. God poured the full measure of His wrath--the terrors of eternal hell--on His own Son... so that you and I could be adopted into His very family. That's how much He loves you. And me."If you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved" (Romans 10:9).

Dear heavenly Father, I am a sinner and cannot save myself. I believe that Your Son Jesus Christ died on the cross in my place for my sins and rose from the dead to forgive me and save me from hell. I now accept Jesus Christ as my personal Savior, trusting Him alone to give me eternal life and a personal relationship with you. Thank you so much heavenly Father for sending Jesus for me. I love you. Amen.

That's not the end though! You need to find that Bible that is somewhere in your house....is it understandable? If not go get one you can read....when you do that... read it! In the day and in the night, so you receive all God has to give you!!! Now ask the Lord to lead you to the church He wants you to worship Him at. Talk to Him everyday, all the time! Start out by thanking Him and then praising Him for the great thing He has done in you & go on from there....He loves and adores you, stay close ~ He always wants to hear from you!

When John saw Jesus...
John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus.

Here Jesus first appears. He was now thirty years old, and came from Galilee to Jordan to be baptized of John.

Behold the Lamb of God.

Innocent like the lamb, to be offered as a lamb, led as a lamb to the slaughter (Isa 53:7).

The lamb was commonly used as a sin offering by the people of Israel (Le 4:32). God himself said that without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sins...

...So then John points to Jesus as the Lamb of God he can only mean that God had provided him as a sacrificial offering.

Jesus would take away...

The sin of the world.

Not of Jews only, but of Gentiles.

John points to Jesus as the world's Savior.


Jesus
bears our Sin.

John says it to Him in his first greeting.

these inspiring words as Jesus approaches...Let us say these same words as we see Jesus approaching us...

the Lamb of God-
the one God-ordained and set apart,
God-gifted sacrificial offering.
that taketh away-taketh up and taketh away.
the chargeable guilt of sin.

In the shedding and sprinkling of its blood he would express love even to the death. He would save sinners like us by faith in Christ.

We are to look for the pardon of our sins to Jesus only, and to his death.

It agrees with God's glory to pardon all who depend on the atoning sacrifice of Christ.

He takes away the sin of the world; purchases pardon for all that repent and believe the gospel.

This encourages our faith; if Christ takes away the sin of the world, then why not my sin? He bore sin for us, and so bears it from us.

God could have taken away sin, by taking away the sinner, as he took away the sin of the old world; but here is a way of doing away sin, yet sparing the sinner, by making his Son sin, that is, a sin-offering, for us.

See Jesus taking away sin, and let that cause hatred of sin, and resolutions against it.

Let us not hold that fast to that which the Lamb of God came to take away.

He takes away the sin of the world; purchases pardon for all those that repent (confess and turn from their sins), and believe the gospel, no matter what country, nation, or language, soever they be.
