Dec. 16, 2007 - Behold the Lamb
Posted in Everyday Grace
I was listening to a Christmas CD by Andrew Peterson this evening. I love this CD. It's called "Behold the Lamb of God." There is no better music out there that captures the complete story of redemption in a total of about 12 songs. You can check it out at this website. (You might need to scroll down a few albums to find it. You can also open a player to hear some of the music.)
As I listened to the lyrics it struck me that he is singing about a baby. From the moment that Jesus was conceived, He was conceived to die. He is the spotless Lamb of God. He wasn't just the spotless Lamb of God just when He died on the cross. He was the spotless Lamb of God in Mary's womb, in that manger, in the temple, and all throughout His life.
Think about it: the Lamb of God in the form of a defenseless baby. This is the One who died for OUR dark and ugly sin. This baby. This Lamb.
Behold the Lamb of God
Who Takes away our sin
Behold the Lamb of God
The life and light of men
Behold the Lamb of God
Who died and rose again
Behold the Lamb of God who comes
To take away our sin
