This podcast is from "The Radiance of Christ" series taught by Nick Russo. In this first session, Nick talks about how many Jews in Jesus’ day were waiting for the Messiah to rightfully take the throne of David, and to deliver them from Roman oppression as the Lion of Judah. Yet, as John the Baptist first described Him, He appeared as the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Before we see Him as the Ruler of the Nations who will deliver us from the sin around us, we must see Him as the Lamb who came to deliver us from the sin within us.
SCRIPTURE: The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!" (John 1:29)
