"THE LAMB OF GOD WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD." God's Lamb and none other could take away our sin. Sin requires a sacrifice, and the sacrifice must befit the offence and the dignity of the offended. For man, the offender, such a sacrifice could not be found. Only God condescended to provide one, which was none other than His only begotten Son, the Lamb of God. From heaven He came to purge away our sin, to fulfil the requirement of divine law and reconcile us to God. Let us daily look to the Lamb of God, who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifested in these last times for us. He is set forth to be the propitiation for our sins through faith in His blood, and to be the daily object of our faith, desire, and affection. On the cross He offered to God the perfect atonement, that we might have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins. The Lamb is to be remembered daily before God by us, in our prayers and praises. May all our expectations be founded upon what He is, what He has done for us, and what He is doing now before the throne of God. In our quest for acceptance with God, offer no other plea. Only, "Behold the Lamb of God!"

For Meditation:
Cast thy guilty soul on Him,
Find Him mighty to redeem;
At His feet thy burden lay,
Bid thy doubts and fears away;
Now by faith the Son embrace,
Plead His promise, trust His grace.
