Lamb of God

John the Baptist continues his testimony, declaring that Jesus is the Lamb of God. Jesus is the Passover lamb who saves people from death, the food of fellowship between God and his people, a lamb sacrificed for our sins, and the triumphant Lamb who now reigns in heaven. He purifies all who believe in him, all who strive to turn away from sin and toward God’s love. Write a prayer or draw a picture that honors Jesus, the Lamb of God. Today’s Readings: 1 John 2:29—3:6; Psalm 98:1, 3cd–4, 5–6; John 1:29–34.
