The Lamb of God

WEBKJVBSBESVNKJVNASBNLT

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. 1

    The Passover lamb

    Exodus 12:13

    Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.

    A lamb dies and its blood spares Israel from death.
  2. 2

    Led like a lamb to the slaughter

    Isaiah 53:7

    He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, And as a sheep before its shearers is silent, So He opened not His mouth.

    Isaiah's suffering servant, silent before his shearers.
  3. 3

    Behold, the Lamb of God

    John 1:29

    The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

    John the Baptist names Jesus the Lamb who takes away the world's sin.
  4. 4

    Christ our Passover

    1 Corinthians 5:7

    Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us.

    "Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed."
  5. 5

    A lamb without blemish

    1 Peter 1:19

    but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.

    Ransomed by the precious blood of Christ.
  6. 6

    Worthy is the Lamb

    Revelation 5:6

    And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth.

    The slain-yet-standing Lamb at the center of heaven's worship.
