“Behold, the Lamb of God”

Text: John 1:29

Clues John gave about Christ:

Jesus Was Perfect – The lamb for the sacrifice had to be perfect (Exodus 12:5)

Jesus Would Have to Die – He was a sacrifice (Matthew 16:21; Isaiah 53:7)

They Were in Bondage to Sin – The sacrifice began the deliverance from bondage (Exodus 12; John 8:32-34)

Sacrifices Were Ending – Jesus’ sacrifice did what the animal sacrifices could not (Hebrews 10:1-4)

He Did Not Come to Establish a Physical Kingdom – He was establishing a kingdom that would not be hindered by His death (Matthew 16:18-19; John 18:36)

Salvation was for Jews & Gentiles – For the world; gives us hope (Romans 15:12)
