Jesus is often referred to as a Lamb in the scriptures. When John the Baptizer saw Jesus coming to be baptized of him, he declared, “Behold, the Lamb of God, that taketh away the sin of the world” (Jn. 1:29). Peter says, “knowing that ye were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from your vain manner of life handed down from your fathers; but with precious blood, as of a lamb without spot, even the blood of Christ” (1 Pt. 1:18-19). Even in Old Testament times Jesus was spoken of as a lamb, “He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he opened not his mouth; as a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth” (Isa. 53:7). When we think of Jesus as the Lamb of God we can’t help but think of the supreme sacrifice He paid of the cruel cross for the sin of all mankind. The Lamb’s blood was shed for the remission of our sins (Mt. 26:28). Thus, Jesus as the Lamb implies that He is kind, longsuffering, loving, merciful, innocent and sacrificial.
