Jesus is the perfect sacrifice!


We discover in this statement by John the Baptist a powerful central message of the gospel. John on this occasion speaks of Christ as: "The Lamb of God" and this definitely reveals the mission of Christ as the lamb offered as the perfect sacrifice willing to redeem all of humanity from the power of sin.

Let us remember that the culture of the time offered lambs as a sacrifice that covered sin for a year, but Jesus Christ was the lamb that "took away" sin once and for all!

This reminds us that no matter how burdened with sin we are, Jesus not only covers sin, HE REMOVES sin completely. That is why he invites us to approach him with full confidence, recognizing that the grace of God is sufficient to cleanse us forever!

Let us keep in mind the sacrifice of Christ, this sacrifice leads us to not bear the guilt of sin since Jesus carried it for us.

The next day John saw Jesus coming to him, and said: Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.

John 1:29
