Last night during family devotions Rick read this from the Jon Courson commentary and I loved it...
"The message of the Lamb of God grows wider and becomes more encompassing as you travel through Scripture. In Genesis, as Abel brought a lamb for sacrifice we see a lamb offered for an individual. In Exodus, as each household sacrificed a lamb during Passover, we see a lamb offered for a family. In Leviticus, when the people of Israel were instructed to sacrifice a lamb, we see a lamb offered for a nation. In John, the Baptist identifies Jesus as the Lamb who takes away the sin of the world, we see a Lamb who would be offered for the world."
As we get ready to celebrate Easter (in less than 4 weeks) let us remember that Jesus saves individually, as a family, as a nation and the world. Let us praise Him because He really did think of everything!
