Notes About The Poem

The Lamb

In Genesis
When 
Abraham asked by Issac
"Father, where is the lamb?"
Abraham answered
" Son, God will provide a Lamb"

Abraham was
Faithful
Willing
Offered 
His son 

God 
So loved
Abraham
Stopped him
And showed him
A RAM
Temporary sacrifice

John
Met Jesus
Baptized Him
The Holy Spirit
In the form of
A Dove
Landed on Him

Afterwards
John said,
"Behold 
The Lamb
Of God 
Who takes
Away 
The sin
Of the world"

Take note 
The sacrifice
Was supposed to be
A pure, unblemished
Young lamb
In Jewish law

Jesus was The Lamb

He was sacrificed...


  

1 Corinthians 5:7 Get rid of the old yeast, so that you may be a new unleavened batch-as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.

John 1:29
New Living Translation
Jesus, the Lamb of God
29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

Also look at Genesis 22: 8-14

Andrea Dietrich January 5, 2021 at 3:33 PM Bible stories mother used to tell me, and heard at church too. So much symbolism in the Bible. The Lamb is one of the easiest to fathom. They are so sweet and innocent looking. Sara Kendrick January 6, 2021 at 4:39 AM Andrea, I read a story about a tribe of people somewhere in the world who had never heard of or seen a lamb. So how do you tell the story to them? Sara Sara Kendrick January 6, 2021 at 4:23 AM Andrea, Also, one of the Priests said it was better that one Man should die and not the whole Jewish nation. He thought it better to get rid of Jesus(God's only Son) so that the nation would be safe but he did just the opposite. The priests killed the Messiah not believing in Him. They still look for a Messiah. Sara

Gershon Wolf January 4, 2021 at 7:34 PM Thank you for teaching me so much about Christian belief/theology in such a beautifully crafted poem, Sara. I like how you dotted the i's and crossed the t's, so to speak, in the denouement. Blessings, Gershon Sara Kendrick January 5, 2021 at 7:18 AM Gershon, I can only speak for myself in what I believe. I feel that many people of the protestant faith believe the same. Your kind review is uplifting. Sara

Judy Ball January 4, 2021 at 12:32 PM Oh Sara this is a fave for me. Absolutely love this. God Bless, JB Sorry I've been gone awhile was in hospital with a ruptured appendix.

It is good you are getting stronger. Sara

Victor Buhagiar January 3, 2021 at 1:07 PM Every day we recite: Lamb of God, who takes away our the sins, have mercy on us. ~~ Sara Kendrick January 4, 2021 at 3:20 PM Victor, You must be Catholic. He had mercy when He gave Himself up for you. Your visits are encouraging. Sara
