The Lamb of God
"Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!"John 1:29
Reflection
John the Baptist pointed at Jesus and used the word lamb. A gentle little lamb carrying the weight of the whole world. What enormous love fits in such a simple picture.
Prayer
Jesus, You are the Lamb who loves me. Amen!
Talk about it as a family
- What is a lamb like?
- Why did John call Jesus a lamb?
- What does it mean that He takes away sin?
