DAILY READINGS: Exodus 26:1-30; Psalms 70-71; Acts 15:1-21

The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold
the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. John 1:29

The Lamb, although it seems a paradox, stands for the conquering
champion of God. We are urged to “Behold the Lamb,” not as weak,
and defeated, but victorious. He alone fought against sin and Satan
and in one single blow at Calvary He defeated the prince of darkness.
No wonder John urges us to “Behold the Lamb,” for He died and carried
away our sin, and set us free. May our eyes focus on Him, the
Lamb of God’s providing, (Genesis 22:8) as we remember Him today.

The Lamb of God to slaughter led, the King of Glory see!
The crown of thorns upon His head, they nail Him to the tree!
