Jesus, the Lamb of God

This Christmas season invites us into a theological exploration of Jesus' identity through the lens of John's Gospel. Rather than focusing on the familiar nativity details of shepherds and mangers, we're drawn into the deeper question that has echoed through centuries: Who is Jesus? John the Baptist's declaration—'Look, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world'—unlocks layers of meaning rooted in Israel's sacrificial system. What makes this particularly powerful is recognizing that Jesus isn't just another sacrifice in a long line of religious rituals—He is God's spotless, once-for-all sacrifice that deals definitively with sin. The question isn't whether Jesus can pay for our sin—He already has. The question is whether we'll trust His single sacrifice alone as sufficient for our standing before God.
