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

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.

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

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

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

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

Victor, You must be Catholic. He had mercy when He gave Himself up for you. Your visits are encouraging. Sara
