Follow the lamb from the Passover in Egypt to the throne of heaven.
A spotless lamb dies so that Israel might live; a prophet sees a servant led silently to the slaughter; John points and cries, "Behold, the Lamb of God"; Paul says "Christ our Passover has been sacrificed"; and the Bible ends with the whole creation worshiping the Lamb who was slain and now reigns.- 1
The Passover lamb
Exodus 12:13And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.
A lamb dies and its blood spares Israel from death. - 2
Led like a lamb to the slaughter
Isaiah 53:7He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
Isaiah's suffering servant, silent before his shearers. - 3
Behold, the Lamb of God
John 1:29The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
John the Baptist names Jesus the Lamb who takes away the world's sin. - 4
Christ our Passover
1 Corinthians 5:7Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
"Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed." - 5
A lamb without blemish
1 Peter 1:19But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
Ransomed by the precious blood of Christ. - 6
Worthy is the Lamb
Revelation 5:6And 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, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
The slain-yet-standing Lamb at the center of heaven's worship.
