Worthy is the Lamb

John saw Jesus coming and said, "Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!" (John 1:29)

My grandson and his little friend

            Recently, my grandchildren frolicked in the countryside with precious, little lambs on a shepherd's farm. Over twenty times in the book of Revelation alone, Jesus Christ, the awaited Messiah and Savior of the world, is called the Lamb of God.

            Peter wrote: "If you address as Father the One who impartially judges according to each one's work, conduct yourselves in fear during the time of your stay on earth; knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold...but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ. For He was foreknown before the foundation of the world, but has appeared in these last times for the sake of you who through Him are believers in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God" (1 Peter 1:17-21)!

Ladies and gentlemen, the Lamb is risen! He is risen indeed!

O Lamb of God, "worthy are You to take the book and to break its seals; for You were slaughtered, and purchased for God with Your blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation...Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing...To Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, be blessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever! Amen" (Rev. 5:9,12,13).

Thank You, O Lamb of God, that today my friend, Elaine, is in paradise with You - absent from the body, at home with the Lord! (2 Cor. 5:8)
