The Lamb of God

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.

The Passover lamb

The blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you live; and when I see the blood I will pass over you, and no plague will come upon you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.
A lamb dies and its blood spares Israel from death.

Behold, the Lamb of God
