Behold the Lamb of God (Advent Series 2019) || In John 1, John the baptizer proclaims ‘Behold the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!’ The sacrificial lamb, the Savior that God promised back in Genesis 3, has finally arrived. But as we see in Luke 2, rather than arriving with much pomp and fanfare, the Messiah arrives as a baby, born to a virgin and a lowly carpenter, whose cradle is a manger. But isn’t it fitting that His arrival is first declared to shepherds? Reminding us that this Lamb of God will one day take away the sin of the world through His sacrifice, and His salvation is made available to all.
