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

    The blood shall be to you for a token on the houses where you are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and there shall no plague 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, yet when he was afflicted he didn’t open his mouth. As a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he didn’t open his mouth.

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

    Behold, the Lamb of God

    John 1:29

    The next day, he saw Jesus coming to 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

    Purge out the old yeast, that you may be a new lump, even as you are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, has been sacrificed in our place.

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

    A lamb without blemish

    1 Peter 1:19

    but with precious blood, as of a lamb without blemish or spot, the blood of Christ;

    Ransomed by the precious blood of Christ.
  6. 6

    Worthy is the Lamb

    Revelation 5:6

    I saw in the middle of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the middle of the elders, a Lamb standing, 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.
