Genesis 22:8 And Abraham said, “My son, God will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering.” So the two of them went together.
Revelation 7:9 After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands
John 1:29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
It's not likely that you or I would create the image of a lamb for the greatest hero the world has ever seen....the greatest power, the greatest truth, the greatest rescuer, the most courageous and unselfishness. Jesus was, is, and always will be the Lamb of God. Could you image a meeker, gentler creature? Rather than a picture of dominance the Lord has given us a picture of obedience so that His almighty power would be properly displayed and we are given an eternal picture of what submission to the Father looks like. Behold the Lamb!
