Jesus as the Lamb of God: A Symbol of Love and Redemption

The gospel is the central message of Christianity.

Jesus is the core of the gospel and the source of salvation.

The gospel is a call to faith in Jesus Christ and a presentation of his saving importance.

The good news of the gospel is the gracious promise of forgiveness of sin through Christ's redemptive act upon the cross.

The The cry of the Church of the Living God today ought to be echoing in the words, O Lamb of God, how I love you. This is the center, the core, and the heart of the gospel. This is the saving work of God in his Son and a call to faith in him. This gospel, dear church, is the joyous good news of the salvation in Jesus Christ. Jesus is more than a messenger of the gospel. Jesus Christ is the gospel. Jesus Christ is salvation. Jesus did not send us salvation, dear church. He died to become our salvation. Salvation is in a person. And the word of God tells us that salvation is found in Jesus Christ alone. The good news of God was present in Christ's life, in his teaching and his atoning death. God, our heavenly father, sent his son to the earth with a mission and he told him what to say. Look with me, please, in this word today in John 12, 44. John 12, 44 But Jesus declared loudly, The one who believes in me does not only believe and trust and rely on me, but in believing in me, he believes in him who sent me. Whoever sees me, sees him who sent me. And I have come as a light into the world, so that whoever believes in me, whoever cleaves to, trusts in, and relies on me, may not continue to live in darkness. Verse 47. If anyone hears my teachings and fails to observe them, does not keep them, but disregards them, it is not I who judges him, for I have not come to judge and to condemn and pass sentence and to inflict penalty on the world, but to save the world. If anyone who rejects me and persistently sets me at naught, refusing to accept my teachings, has his judge, however. For the very message that I have spoken will itself judge and conflict him in that last day. Verse 49. This is because I have never spoken on my own authority or of my own accord or as self-appointed. But the Father who sent me has himself given me orders concerning what to say and what to tell. Verse 50. And I know that his commandment means eternal life. So whenever I speak, I am saying exactly what my Father has told me to say and in accordance with his instructions. the greek word translated as gospel means a reward for bringing good news because of the faithfulness of our lord jesus christ in bringing the good news of his father into the world he jesus was going to have a reward for bearing the good tidings of his father and speaking what his father told him to speak. Precious church, you and I are the reward of Christ's suffering, and the Greek word translated as gospel means a reward for bringing good news. We who come to Christ and live in him as the branches connected to the vine are called the reward, the special treasures, valuable offerings, the good seed, private property, a people especially possessed by God and particularly prized by him. We are called costly possessions of our Redeemer, valued property, people that are his very own, the apple of his eye. The world did not accept him and killed him for bringing the truth and the light and the life into the world. The truth is that God sent his own son to proclaim the good news that he the Father would rescue his people from captivity and give them a promised land. Jesus came to preach the good news of the gospel to the poor. And we were all poor, dear church, and in need of our blessed Savior before we all came to Christ. The gospel of grace is not a new plan of salvation. It is the fulfillment of God's plan of salvation, which was begun in Israel and was completed in Jesus Christ's finished work upon the cross, that is, his death, burial, and resurrection. Now, this good news is made known by the church, and the church consists of people. The church is defined as a living organism because it is made up of human beings who have fallen in love with their Savior and desire to share this beautiful plan of salvation with all who will hear it. The work of sharing the good news of the gospel is vital in every generation now. And accepting Christ's gospel of salvation is not an external agreement. This beautiful offer requires faith. And it is more than an intellectual agreement to a theoretical truth. This requires faith from the beginning to the end of your salvation process. Faith is in a person. Faith is trust which is placed in a living person, that is, Jesus Christ. Any other gospel is a lie and is not a gospel at all. The gospel is the presentation of the life of Jesus to show us his saving importance for all people and to call them to faith in himself. The heart of the gospel is Jesus Christ. He is the subject of it, he is the object of it, and he is the life of it. The good news was preached by Jesus. The good news, dear church, was preached by Jesus Christ himself. Please look with me in Luke 4, 14. Luke 4, 14. Then Jesus went back full of and under the power of the Holy Spirit into Galilee. and the fame of him spread throughout the whole region round about. And he himself conducted a course of teaching in their synagogues, being recognized and honored and praised by all. So he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and he entered the synagogue, as was his custom on the Sabbath day, and he stood up to read. Verse 17. And there was handed to him the roll of the book of the prophet Isaiah. He opened, he unrolled the book and found the place where it was written. Verse 18. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he has anointed me to preach the good news, the gospel to the poor. And he sent me to announce release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind. and send forth as delivered those who are oppressed, who are downtrodden, bruised, crushed, and broken down by calamity. Verse 19. To proclaim the accepted and acceptable year of the Lord, the day when salvation of the free favors of God profusely abound. And then he rolled up the book and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were gazingly, attentively looking at him. And he began to speak to them. Today, he says, in the scripture has been fulfilled while you are present and hearing. Also, please, in Mark 1.14, another scripture where Jesus himself was preaching. after john was arrested and put into prison jesus came into galilee preaching the good news of the gospel of the kingdom of god and saying the appointed period of time is fulfilled it's completed and the kingdom of god is at hand repent have a change of mind which issues in regards for past sins and in change of conduct for the better and believe trust in rely on the good news the gospel the good news is the gracious promise of the forgiveness of sin through christ's redemptive act upon the cross and this salvation this gift of salvation which comes to us through the gospel message of jesus christ is the whole message and doctrine of salvation having the power enough for the repentant sinner to experience forgiveness for his or her own sin power enough to have faith justification renewal and sanctification through the inward working of god's precious holy spirit In the sinner's inner being. Jesus became what we were. So that we could become what he is. In 2 Corinthians 5.25. He says. Paul speaks and says. For our sakes. He God made Christ virtually to become sin. Who knew no sin. He who knew no sin. So that in and through him. we might become the righteousness of God, what we ought to be approved and accepted and in right relationship with Him by His goodness. You see, Jesus became a substitute for us. He became the atonement. And what we really deserved, that is, eternal death, Jesus was our atonement. And He stepped in and He said, Father, I will go and divest myself of my glory and be the substitute for the redeemed. This is true love, precious one. The substitution of one, that is Jesus Christ, became a substitution for all to redeem us back to the Father. Again, please, 2 Corinthians 5, 21. For our sake, he, God, made Christ virtually to become sin, he who knew no sin, so that in and through him we might become the righteousness of God, what we ought to be, approved and acceptable and in right relationship with him by his goodness. Atonement in the Greek means to cover over sin, to forgive. reconciliation the satisfaction offered to divine justice for the sins of mankind by the death of Jesus Christ by virtue of which all repentant believers in Christ are reconciled to God and freed from the penalties of sin This is atonement. This is what it means in the Greek. This is what Christ did for us. And as I said, this is true love. This is a beautiful work of love. by the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, who are in complete agreement, is the declaration of the soul and the substance of the divine message of the gospel. The message of the cross is life to the spiritually dead. 2 Corinthians 5.21 For our sake, he God, made Christ virtually to be sin, he who knew no sin so that in and through him we might become the righteousness of God what we ought to be approved acceptable and in right relationship with him by his goodness the message of the cross is vital for life for every believer in Jesus Christ to hold on fast to as if they themselves were nailed to it Jesus was made sin for us. And this ought to touch our hearts, dear church. This ought to touch our hearts somehow in some way. He who knew no sin was made sin for us. Jesus had no personal knowledge of sin. Throughout his entire life on earth, he never committed an offense against the great law. of truth and that which was right to do. In the Gospel of John 8, Jesus spoke to his accusers in that day, asking them who convicts him of wrongdoing. In John 8, 45, Because I speak the truth, you do not believe me. Verse 46, Who of you convicts me of wrongdoing or finds me guilty of sin? then if I speak truth, why do you not believe me? You do not trust in me. You do not rely on me. You do not adhere to me. Whoever is of God listens to God. Hear the words of God. This is the reason that you do not listen to the words that I speak because you do not belong to God and are not of God or in harmony with him. Jesus had no fault of willful sin. And he certainly had no fault of sinning out of ignorance or neglect of that which was right in his father's sight. Our Lord was complete in heart, complete in purpose, and complete in thought. Jesus was complete in word, deed, and action, and in spirit. There was absolutely no tendencies in our substitute towards evil in any form or fashion. He was a spotless lamb. In the Gospel of John 1.19 tells us that John the Baptist was the messenger sent before the Lord to announce his coming. In John 1.19. This is the testimony of John. when the Jews sent priests and Levites to him from Jerusalem to ask him, Who are you? And he confessed, admitted the truth, and did not try to conceal, but he acknowledged, I am not the Christ. Then they asked him, What then? Are you Elijah? And he said, I am not. Are you the prophet? He answered, No. And then they said to him, Who are you? Tell us so that we may give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself? Verse 23, he said, I am the voice of one crying aloud in the wilderness, the voice of one shouting in the desert. Prepare the way of the Lord. Level, straighten out the path of the Lord, as the prophet Isaiah said. The messengers had been sent from the Pharisees, And they asked him, Why then are you baptizing if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet? John answered them, I only baptize in with water. Among you there stands one whom you do not recognize, and with whom you are not acquainted, and of one whom you know nothing about. It is he who coming after me is preferred before me, the strings of whose sandals I am not worthy to unloose. These things occurred in Bethany across the Jordan where John was then baptizing. Verse 29. The next day, John saw Jesus coming to him and he said, Behold, there is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. This is he of whom I said, after me comes a man who has priority over me, who ranks above me because he was before me and existed before I did. And I did not know him and did not recognize him myself, but it is in order that he should be made manifest and be revealed to Israel, be brought out where we can see him, that I came baptizing in with water. Verse 32. Verse 34. And I have seen that happen. I actually did see it. And my testimony is this, is the Son of God. Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples. And he looked at Jesus as he walked along and he said, Look, there is the Lamb of God. I ask you, what was done to this precious lamb who knew no sin? What was done to our substitute who knew no sin? Well, let me tell you, he was made sin for you and me. God the Father laid upon Jesus who voluntarily took it all the weight of human sin and instead of its weight being put upon the sinner who really deserved its weight was made to rest upon our Lord Jesus Christ he was not guilty and he could not be made guilty but he was treated as if he were because he desired to please his father and stand in the place of the guilty sinner. O Heavenly Father, touch our hearts today to understand the depths and the width and the breadth of this undying love. Breathe upon us, Spirit of Truth, to magnify the absolute beauty of the cross and nail it to the walls of our hearts, that we should never forget what Jesus did for us personally to make us your very own, your prized possession, the reward of his suffering. Oh, divine love, aim your arrows at our hearts and help us each day to grow more and more in love with you, to be more thankful and grateful for what our beautiful Savior has done for each of us personally. Amen. Dear Church, instead of sin resting upon the sinner, it was made to rest upon Jesus, and he was not guilty. he was not only treated as a sinner but he was treated as if he had been sin itself the great suffering of our substitute was for our benefit sin pressed on him from all sides and he felt the full weight and the pressure of it when he was nailed to the cross the suffering jesus went through are an unknown to you and me. We could not bear to know the extent of his suffering. God, our Father, made the perfectly innocent one to be sin for us so that we would not have to go through the great darkness, the humiliation, the agony, and death that we really deserved. what love we could never conceive of what he did for us oh what love we can only touch the surface and what jesus endured in his suffering for you and me he rendered to the justice of god a vindication of his law which now says not guilty you are not guilty and when jesus was raised up on the cross and cried out, it is finished. These words were powerful and filled the earth with new beginning and hope. These words, it is finished, means to those who have accepted Christ's finished work on the cross for you and me personally that Christ has been made perfect and complete and the finisher of our faith. And in a sense, it is perfect. With Jesus, the author and the finisher of our faith, and the captain of our salvation, we learn we must submit ourselves to him in his process so that he can complete his beautiful work in us. Hebrews 12, 1. Hebrews 12.1 Therefore then, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses who have borne testimony to the truth, let us strip off and throw aside every encumbrance, unnecessary weight, and that sin which so easily and cleverly and deftly clings to and entangles us. and let us run with patient endurance and steady and active persistence the appointed course of the race that is set before us. Verse 2, looking away from all that will distract to Jesus, who is the leader and the source of our faith, giving the first incentive for our belief and is also its finisher, bringing it to maturity and perfection. He, for the joy of obtaining the prize that was set before him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Verse 3 just think of him who endured from sinners such grievous opposition and bitter hostility against himself reckoned up and consider it all in comparison with your trials so that you may not grow weary or exhausted, losing heart and relaxing and fainting in your minds. You have not yet struggled and fought agonizingly against sin, and nor have you yet resisted and withstood to the point of pouring out your own blood. Verse 5, one whom he loves and he punishes and scourges every son whom he accepts and welcomes to his heart and cherishes you must submit to and endure correction for discipline god is dealing with you as sons for what son is there whom his father does not train and correct and discipline verse eight if you are exempt from correction and left without discipline in which all of god's children share, then you are illegitimate offspring and not true sons at all. Jesus exhibited the greatest faith of all in its highest forms from first to last and placing himself, as it were, at the head of the great army and heroes of faith to become our captain of the hosts and our great strength to complete our race of faith in himself. Christ has won the place as our atonement once and for all where we now come and lay ourselves upon him as our great altar. We all had our own altars before. And some still fight going back at times to those adulterous altars, placing upon these altars the things that they worship, which are valuable and precious to them other than Christ. God always demanded a sacrifice. This was God's requirement for his people. God was to be the focus of the people's sacrifice. This was the way by which they worshiped the Lord. This was their act of obedience to their God. The scripture says, which we have read in this word today, where John the Baptist is the forerunner to Christ's coming, declared, Behold the Lamb of God, which takes away the sins of the world. This was a prophetic utterance that God's people had long awaited. The mediator, the atonement, the great sacrifice, our substitute who is Jesus, is the Lamb who had been slain and is now the one, the church, who belongs to Jesus Christ, will worship him forever and ever. He is worthy. He is worthy. He is worthy of all of our praise and all of our worship. Blessed be the name of Jesus, dear church. Blessed be the name of our Lamb. Blessed be the name of the Lord, our God. May the smoke of our praise and worship upon our Christian altar ever rise up and surround the throne of the living God and the Lamb. The world who are considered the wise find these words which I'm speaking to you, they find them foolish and weak. but dear church those who belong to Christ know this is a living and divine and holy eternal work of God within their inner being we now have the opportunity to feast upon our sacrifice he is now the substance and desire of my spirit and soul's longing to be fed and nourished with heavenly manna Jesus tasted death for you and me and all others who would choose him so we can now taste and see that he is good hallelujah Psalms 34 7 in Psalms 34 7 the angel of the Lord encamps round about those who fear him who revere and worship him with awe and each one of them he delivers Verse 8. Oh, taste and see that the Lord our God is good. Blessed, happy, and fortunate is the man who trusts and takes refuge in him. Oh, fear the Lord, you, his saints, revere and worship him. For there is no want to those who truly revere and worship him with godly fear. Verse 10. The young lions lack food and suffer hunger. But they who seek and inquire of the Lord by right of their need and on the authority of his word, none of them shall lack any beneficial thing. None of them shall lack any beneficial thing. Verse 11. Come, you children, listen to me, and I will teach you to revere and worshipfully fear the Lord. this divine call is to come and give holy sacrifices of praise and honor and true worship upon our altar we are given the right and the authority to taste and see that he is good come is the call here come to the altar to the ark to the rock who is christ and taste and see that he is good. His kiss is sweet. His kiss is his word. And kiss means agreement. In Songs 5-1, Song of Songs 5-1, I have come into my garden, my sister, my promised bride. And I have gathered my myrrh with my balsam and spices. From your sweet words have I gathered the richest perfumes and spices. And I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey, and I have drunk my wine with my milk. Eat, O friends and O revelers of the palace. You can never make my lover disloyal to me. Drink, yes, drink abundantly of love. O precious ones, for now I know you are mine, irrevocably mine. With this confident word still thrilling her heart, through the lattice she saw her shepherd turn away and disappear into the night. Ah, every suitor loves to be pursued, to be one and united in mutual agreement that this union is for life. Hebrews 6, 4. It is impossible to restore and bring again to repentance. those who have once been enlightened, who have consciously tasted the heavenly gift and have become sharers of the Holy Spirit. Verse 5, And have felt how good the Word of God is and the mighty powers of the age to come. You see, my Jesus, my Lamb of God who died for my sins and your sins, is not only our means of reconciliation with God, our Heavenly Father, but His sacrifice and death are the substances, the nourishment, the living bread and water of our spiritual lives. This comes by living in Christ. This is life in Christ. This was a promise from Christ Himself. In John 6, 35, Jesus says, I am the bread of life, and he who comes to me will never be hungry. And he who believes in and cleaves to and trusts in and relies on me will never thirst anymore at any time. And dropping down, please, to verse 47. Verse 47. I assure you most solemnly, I tell you, He who believes in me, who trusts in, relies on, and has faith in me, has and now possesses eternal life. I am the bread of life that gives the living bread. Your forefathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and yet they died. But this is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that anyone may eat of it and never die. Verse 51. I myself am this living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And also the bread that I shall give for the life of the world is my flesh, my body. The Jews in that day wanted to kill Jesus for speaking this eternal truth. And the world laughs and mocks at this word and this truth still today. This truth can only enter into the heart of the believer by faith in the hearing of the Lord's sacrifice. And this truth is made real by God's own Spirit. And only then, he or she who will humble themselves to receive this precious and eternal truth, will make Christ their very own and appropriate him as their nourishment and basis of a better life by virtue of the facts of his miracles, his death, burial, and resurrection. Jesus said in John 53, he said to them, I assure you most solemnly, I tell you, you cannot have any life in you unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, unless you appropriate his life and the saving merit of his blood. Verse 54, he who feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has and possesses now eternal life, and I will raise him up from the dead on the last day. For my flesh is true and genuine food. For my blood is true and genuine drink. He who feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood dwells continually in me, and I, in like manner, dwell continually in him. Verse 57. Just as the living Father sent me, and I live by through because of the Father, even so, whatever continues to feed on me, whoever takes me for his food and is nourished by me, shall in turn live through because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. It is not like the manna which our forefathers ate and yet died. He who takes this bread for his food shall live forever. You see, the blood of Jesus represents life. And the body of Jesus represents the substance in the word of God, which is by nature spiritual unity and agreement with it. This is the life of Christ indwelling every true believer in Jesus Christ. Jesus says again in verse 56, He who feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood dwells continually in me, and in like manner I dwell continually in him. Verse 57, just as the living father sent me and i live by the father even so whoever continues to feed on me whoever takes me for his food and is nourished by me shall live through and because of me. Precious ones, to eat is to believe. And to believe is to live it. To believe what Jesus has spoken in his word is then to live it. This is true communion and agreement with Christ. And this is sharing in the sacrifice of his suffering. This is the rite of communion of the Lord's body and blood. And though the altar now represents the table, this means we can come to the Lord's table and feast on the sacrifice, which says in its symbolic terms, This is my body, broken for you. This is the new covenant in my blood. Drink you all of it. Christ's death stands alone, incapable of repetition, needing no meeting of an atonement ever again. The work of our Lord on the cross was an eternal and sufficient obligation and satisfaction for the sins of the whole world. But now there is a sacrifice which is required of us. And this Christian offering and requirement demanded by our holy God in order to fulfill our covenant agreement with himself and his son, who was our innocent lamb, is our obedience. Our obedience to believe his word and enjoy the life which springs forth from it. To eat is to believe, and to believe is to live it. This is true communion and agreement with Christ at the communion table. The sacrifice, as well required of us, is our grateful praise and thanks. We can add nothing to what Christ has done for us. He did everything, and all he wants in return is our love and obedience to the requirements of what his word demands. This is our offering, a thankful heart for what he has done. Dear Church, this is our holy service to God. What love and grace. God gave his Son to be the atonement for our sins. God gave the world his Son to be the innocent Lamb as a substitute for what we really deserved. Our all-wise and all-knowing sovereign God did hear what none but he could do. He is the fountain of righteousness, and his ways should be unquestionably righteous to us. And his decisions and judgments and justices are divine and should be acceptable to us as a matter of just believing by faith and living what he requires of us in his word. The great grace of God through this awesome atonement Is God himself who provided the atonement by freely and fully giving up himself and the person of his son to suffer in the consequences of human sin? Well, we can know that since God did it and chose it to do it this way, then it is well done. Yes, it is well done. And it is good and it's complete. We can just know that since God chose to do it this way, it is well done. It's good and it's complete. It is perfect and very thorough and nothing could be added to it to improve it or make it any better. It is finished. It is finished. It is finished. 2 Corinthians 5, 14. for the love of Christ controls and urges and impels us because we are of the opinion and conviction that one died for all, then all died. And he died for all so that all those who might live no longer to and for themselves, but to and for him who died and was raised again for their sake. Consequently, from now on, we estimate and regard no one from a purely human standpoint of view in terms of natural standards of value. No, even though we once did estimate Christ from a human standpoint as a man, yet now we have such knowledge of him that we know him no longer in terms of the flesh. Verse 17, Therefore, if any person is engrafted in Christ, the Messiah, he is a new creation, a new creature altogether. And the old previous moral and spiritual condition has passed away. Behold, the fresh and the new has come. Verse 18. But all things are from God, who through Jesus Christ reconciled us to himself, received us into favor, brought us into harmony with himself, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation, that by the word, indeed, we might aim to bring others into harmony with him. Verse 19, it was God personally present in Christ, reconciling and restoring the world to favor with himself, not counting up and holding against men their trespasses, but canceling them and committing to us the message of reconciliation of the restoration to favor. Verse 20, so we are Christ's ambassadors. God making his appeal as it were through us. We, as Christ's personal representatives, beg you for his sake to lay hold of the divine favor now offered you and be reconciled to God. For our sakes, he made Christ virtually to be sin, who knew no sin, so that in and through him we might become endued with, viewed as being in and examples of the righteousness of God, what we ought to be approved and accepted and in right relationship with him by his goodness. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! if we've truly accepted the precious lamb's sacrifice and have taken him as our daily communion and live in him, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. Every man or woman who believes in Jesus is through Christ's sacrifice, is having the very character, righteous behavior formed and shaped in them. the word says for our sake he made christ virtually to be sin he who knew no sin so that in and through him we might become endued with viewed as being in and examples of the righteousness of god we are made precious ones the righteousness of god and the righteousness which adam had in the garden was perfect. Adam means red clay, soil, or dirt. And he lived and dwelled in the very presence of God and he knew no sin until the great deceiver came to tempt and endeavor to supplant and overthrow the plan of God. And this plan of God was to make the vessels of clay which he had made in the form of man and in his own image, his very own children who would live with him forever in his eternal kingdom. And since they failed, God sent another Adam, his very own son, to fulfill what Satan could never do again, and that is to steal the keys of life. Revelation 1 17. We do not have to fear this ever again. Never ever again. Jesus says to us in Revelation 1 17, do not be afraid. I am the first and the last. I am the ever living one. I am living in the eternity of eternities. I died, but see, I am alive forevermore, and I possess the keys of death and Hades, the realm of the dead. It is finished. For you and me and all true believers in Christ, it is finished. Jesus Christ is our key of life, and it's through Jesus that we might now become the righteousness of God. Human righteousness failed, but you and I have a divine righteousness which will never fail us. He lives within us through his precious Holy Spirit, and nothing could be more complete or thorough or perfect. It is finished. It is finished. And you and I must accept what Christ as our precious lamb, our atonement and savior did for us personally upon the cross. This must be your personal experience. It is not a herd mentality that if our best friend or a family member has decided to do it, that we might do it too. this is our personal decision for Christ that you must make. And when you do, there is a sacrifice which is required of you and me and all others who choose him as Lord and Master. And this Christian offering and requirement demanded by our Holy God in order to fulfill our new covenant agreement with himself and his son, who was our innocent lamb, as I said before, is our obedience. Our obedience to believe his word and enjoy the life which springs forth from it. To eat is to believe, and to believe is to live it. And this is the true communion and agreement with Christ at the communion table. This sacrifice as well requires of us our grateful praise and thanks. We can add nothing to what Christ has done for us, precious ones. He did everything. And all he wants in return is our love and obedience to the requirements of what his word demands. This is our offering. A thankful heart for what he did. Praise be to the one who died for us and said, Do not be afraid. I am the first and the last and the ever-living one. I am living in the eternity of eternities. I die, but see, I am alive forevermore. I say hallelujah. Praise be to the Lamb of God and glory be to him forever and ever. And I pray that this is the cry of the church of the living God today to be echoed all through this planet. Oh Lamb of God, how I love you. Thank you.
