Lamb of God

8 Replies

The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! John 1:29

Who is The Lamb of God? John the Baptist clearly identifies him as Jesus Christ. So what does it mean for Jesus to be the Lamb of God? And how is John able to identify him?  John the Baptist was sent as a messenger from God to pave the way for the Messiah (Isaiah 40:3) The voice on one calling in the wilderness to prepare the way for The Lord. John was a witness and confirmation that Jesus is The Messiah, The Lamb of God to take away the sins of the world

The Passover Lamb was instructed by God to be sacrificed to save the Israelites from death. The blood of the Lamb was a sign and seal they were protected by God (Exodus 12) The requirements of the Lamb of God was to be without defect and to not have a single bone broken in there body (Leviticus 22)

Jesus is The Lamb of God, who was without sin yet paid for the sins of the world. (1 Corinthians 5:7) By the power of his holy blood, we are redeemed and protected. This is why Jesus allowed himself to be crucified to be our sacrificial Lamb to save us from our sins.

Remember what Jesus has done for you, he laid down his life for you as the Lamb of God. There is no power greater than his blood, so rejoice for you have been redeemed by his blood in Jesus Name Amen

And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19

Do you worry about your needs being met? When you have faith in God you can have peace and confidence knowing that your Heavenly Father will meet all your needs regardless of your circumstances. God knows your needs before you even ask for them (Matthew 6:8)

No matter what your financial situation is , we are rich in Christ. By the blood of Jesus, we have been given a priceless gift of grace and freedom. There is no greater gift God could have given us than his only begotten Son. You have inherited something money can’t buy, and that’s peace, joy, love, grace, and victory through Jesus Christ

Do you believe God can and will supply all your needs? Remember with faith the size of a mustard seed we can move mountains (Matthew 17:20) however without faith its impossible to see the miracles of God or to please him (Hebrews 11:6)

Learn to trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding (Proverbs 3:5) because its pleases our Heavenly Father to supply your needs , to give you the Kingdom of God (Luke 12:32) in Jesus Name Amen

Encourage

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9

Are you feeling strong and courageous today? Multiple times God kept telling Joshua to be “Strong and Courageous” there are times when we need to encourage one another also (1 Thessalonians 5:11) Notice the word “Encourage” means to give support, confidence, or hope to someone. You are empowering someone, this is exactly what God was doing with Joshua at this time

Joshua was faced with a difficult task at a difficult time, Moses had just passed away and God was commanding him to move the Israelites forward to the Promise Land. Problem was the “Promise Land” was full of giant warriors who were not going to go down without a fight. But God told Joshua “Nobody will be able to stand against you” (Joshua 1:5) also he told him “ He will never leave or forsake him” (Joshua 1:5)

Isn’t that encouraging hearing these words from the Creator of the Heavens and Earth? The same can be applied to us, if you are walking with God, then nobody will be able to stand against you, if God is for us who can be against us (Romans 8:31) Be strong and courageous in Jesus Name Amen

 

Good Medicine

A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. Proverbs 17:22

What the world needs now is some “Good Medicine” with all the hatred and hostility these days, we need more Jesus and less of us ( John 3:30) Words matter, they have the power of life and death (Proverbs 18:21) We must choose our words wisely , when we lash out at people it crushes our spirit.

Jesus is the cure, he is the “Good Medicine” through him we can have the fruits of The Holy Spirit, Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self Control (Galatians 5:22-23) Don’t you think the world can use these qualities right now? When we see the fruits of evil, hatred, racism, murder, and greed, these are the fruits of Satan who has come to rob , steal, and kill. You will be known by the fruit you bear

What are people really searching for? Isn’t all this chaos because people are looking for paradise? These is only one way to eternal life, and that’s through Jesus Christ (John 14:6) He is the only road to happiness, when you put your trust in mankind, you will always be let down. Jesus is the same today, yesterday, and forever (Hebrews 13:8), he does not change.

Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the should and healing to the bones (Proverbs 16:24) Are you healing or hurting people today with your words and actions? Do you need some “Good Medicine”, then turn to Jesus Christ Amen

 

Contentment is Great Gain

Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. Philippians 4:11
Are you content in any situation? Or do you waver under stressful situations? When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior he always becomes our Peace and Strength. We should not worry about whether we are rich or poor, healthy or weak, for we are already blessed already from the Gift of life God has giving us
We need to learn in all situations to stay in Peace and Let God fight for us.
(Exodus 14:14) “The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.”
When we are under attack by our Enemies it’s our human nature to strike back. But we need to learn to stay in Peace and Let God fight our battles.
The world might view this as weakness but we know our strength comes from The Lord and not ourselves. He has the power to spin planets and galaxies into existence; he can overcome any obstacle that you may be facing.
(Matthew 5:39) “But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.”
Jesus taught us to “turn the other cheek” why? Because the battle is not ours, that battle is for God. We need to learn to trust in God thru all situations. Stay in Peace and Stay Content.
Satan likes to tempt us with greed, envy, lust, ect. But we must learn we are already blessed. It’s his trap to get you off course. Don’t repay evil with evil, resist the devil and he will flee from you.
(1 Timothy 6:6) “But godliness with contentment is great gain.”
When we learn to be content with what we have we gain Peace and Strength that can’t be bought. People who always need more possessions and wealth will never gain true Peace, because it will never be enough.
Many battles and struggles are due to people not being content with what God has already giving them. Whatever the world is going to throw at you, you will be able to overcome it with the Peace and Strength of Jesus Christ Amen
