I am overflowing with joy and wonder right now! It is breath-taking to again glimpse the majesty and wonder of God and his incredible plan for the redemption of his people!
God has taken us, aliens through our sin, and rescued us by his strength! Just as the Israelites were led out of Egypt by the mighty hand of the Lord, so Christians are rescued from slavery and death. It is astounding!!!
Christ was the propitiation for our sin and so satisfied God's justice! The ultimate and complete sacrifice.
By faith, God leads us out of our "Egypts" and calls us to leave our fears and our idols behind. We are freed by the Lamb and so must adore him!
“Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!" (John 1:26b)

The Jews who heard John the Baptist would have understood the signficance of this statement. In place of a yearly Passover lamb, Jesus was the Lamb...the sacrifice...not just to take away the sin of Israel, but of the world!
Amen - worthy is the Lamb!
P.S. - I totally recommend listening to Andrew Peterson's song, Behold the Lamb of God.
His website is http://www.andrew-peterson.com/
If you click on the "open player" button you can listen to it online. The song I'm referring to is the second to last, Behold the Lamb of God. Worshipful!!!
