The Lamb of Sacrifice

Today’s Scripture: The next day again John was standing with two of his disciples; 36 and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God!". John 1:35-42

Reflection: A little child has always to be told in many different ways and with the use of many words. Similarly, you share a little difficult joke in public and it is immediately understood by a few and the many would need a little bit of elaboration, some may even need to be re-told the whole joke again.

From yesterdays passage we see a graduation from an elaborate explanation of Jesus Christ, by John the Baptist, to a precise statement; "Behold, the Lamb of God!"

To the ones initiated in the knowledge of the truth and God’s eternal purpose, a little hint is enough but to the un initiated even a degree in theology could be a failure to understand the mysteries of the kingdom of God and what it implies.

Prayer:  Open my eyes Lord that I may fully know the meaning, understand its depth and recognize your sacrificial action and its implications for and me for all generations.
