Lamb of God.

 Lamb of God

A Reflection on John 1:29 and Revelation 5:6

Lamb of God—gentle, humble, mild,

Yet strong enough to save a wayward child.

You came not with a roar, but with a sigh,

To take the sin of the world, to bleed, to die.

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)

Not a lion’s fury, not an eagle’s might,

But a lamb led to slaughter, silent through the night.

You opened not Your mouth when accused and shamed,

For the love of the Father, for the souls You claimed.

The Lamb of God—spotless, pure, and true,

Whose blood became the covenant, the old made new.

The Passover was a shadow; the substance is Your flesh,

The perfect, final offering, the cursed tree, the fresh

And living way to heaven, the curtain torn in two—

Lamb of God, I worship You.

He was oppressed and afflicted, yet He did not open His mouth; He was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so He did not open His mouth. (Isaiah 53:7)

Now You stand before the throne—a Lamb as if slain,

Yet alive forevermore, with wounds that still remain.

The angels cry, “Worthy!” The elders cast their crowns.

The Lion is the Lamb, and the Lamb deserves renown.

So I bow before You—not in fear, but awe.

The Lamb who was sacrificed is the Lion I adore.

You took my sin, my shame, my death, my grave,

Lamb of God, my soul You save.

Amen.
