During the Old Testament, the lamb was looked upon as the innocent sacrifice, portraying the perfect Lamb of God that would come to die for the guilty human race. When John the Baptist saw the Messiah coming, he pointed towards Him and said, “Behold the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world.” (John 1: 29). Peter wrote, “Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver and gold, from your vain manner of life received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot” (I Peter 1: 18-19).

Those who are part of the church of the living God were perfectly redeemed through the godly blood (Acts 20: 28). In Romans 3: 25-26, the apostle expresses this thought, “… whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; to declare, I say, at this time his righteousness, that he might be just, and the justifier of him who believeth in Jesus.” What a marvellous Truth is being presented to us through the Gospel of Jesus Christ! We have Christ, the answer to all our questions. Through faith those who believe are justified, even sanctified for ever, as He also sanctified Himself for us (John 17: 19).
