THE SEED
These will wage war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those who are with Him are the called and chosen and faithful Revelation 17:14
God has always dealt with sin by allowing blood to be shed. The Lord Himself established the sacrificial system when mankind committed its first act of disobedience. He killed an animal and used its skin to bodily cover Adam and Eve, just as its blood “covered” their sin. But this was only a short-term fix. Only Jesus Christ’s shed blood could make up for sin and eradicate it forever. The Son of God came to earth to serve as the world’s sin-bearer; He lived a sinless life before taking on the entire weight of our sins and guilt. Those who put their faith in Him as Saviour receive full forgiveness through His death on the cross, becoming righteous and holy in the eyes of the Father. Jesus is known as the Lamb of God for this reason. Lambs were offered as sacrifices to atone for sin in the Old Testament. The substitutionary death required to fulfil God’s justice was similarly supplied by Jesus in the form of His life. As a result, God and us were able to mend their differences and adopt us into His family. Because of Jesus, we are able to approach God and declare, “Thank You for being my Father.”
PRAYER
Oh Lord, you have made yourself a sacrificial lamb for my sins, the grace to sin no more, grant it unto me in Jesus name, Amen
