Behold The Lamb
Why does John call Jesus the Lamb of God?
In this sermon on John 1, Dr. Toby Holt explains the weight behind John the Baptist's words when he points to Jesus as the Lamb of God. The sermon moves through John's testimony, the broken religious system around him, the meaning of Passover, and the truth that animal sacrifices could only point forward to the Son of God who would die in the place of sinners.
Questions this sermon answers:
1. What was John the Baptist saying about himself and about Christ?
2. Why does the language of lamb and sacrifice matter in John 1?
3. How does the Passover point forward to the atonement of Jesus?
John 1 teaches us to behold Christ as the true Lamb, the promised Savior, and the Son of God.
