Some Symbols of ChristThe bible tells us of several different types of animals that Jesus is referred to

He’s referred to as the Lion of Judah in the book of Revelations

He’s referred to as the Lamb of God in the book of John

He’s even referred to as a Good Shepherd in the book of Revelations (a shepherd is not an animal but a shepherd does protect and care for his "ock)


We Are Little SheepJesus was not only referred to as different animals himself, but he also refers to his children as little lambs (so if we’re the lambs and he’s the shepherd, he must be keeping a good eye on us)

Jesus must have a great love for creatures he made!


Sacrificial OfferingsWhen there was a need for an offering it was mostly done by using animals

When a burnt offering was presented, an animal had to be sacri!ced

When a sin offering was presented, an animal had to be sacri!ced


Sin Offering

Let’s speak a little on a sin offering

This type of offering would require an animal to be killed and presented whenever someone committed a sin!

Wow! Each time someone would sin they would have to kill an animal for forgiveness (blood had to be shed)


Christ Walked on This EarthWhen Jesus came down here and walked this very earth that you and I walk today, he had a very speci!c reason for doing so

He had to forgive the sinners and gather his lost saints

But that came with a very big cost!

Jesus would eventually have to be sacri!ced himself and die for OUR sins in order for us to be forgiven and have a second chance (You can look this up in I Peter 1: 17-21 and Matthews in your bible)


Lamb for Sin OfferingGod’s people were taught to offer an animal, usually a lamb, as a sacri!ce for any sin

Anyone who wanted to be forgiven for their sins would have to take a lamb to the priest

That innocent lamb had to die in place of the person so that he/she could be forgiven their sins


Sin Is BADGod wanted to show the people how sin was so terrible that the blood of a blameless animal had to be shed in order for forgiveness to occur

That poor, poor lamb!

Hebrews 9:22 – “Without shedding of blood, is no remission”


Christ Is Our LambFor many years, God commanded people to sacri!ce lambs, and this was an acceptable offering for having sinned

But Jesus, who is called the Lamb of God, represents the lamb that was sacri!ced each time

John 1: 29 says: “The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.”


Christ Is Our LambToday, there is no need to offer an animal as a sacri!ce for our sins

When Jesus Christ (The Lamb of God) died on the cross and his blood poured out, it eliminated the need for animals to ever be sacri!ced again

Why?.....Because he was the !nal and innocent Lamb that was sacri!ced for our sins!


Christ Will Blot Out Our Sins

Jesus had to do it!

We needed our sins to be completely wiped away

He died for my sins!

He died for your sins!

He died for sins of all mankind!


Christ Will Blot Out Our SinsWhy do we talk about Christ, the Lamb of God, during this month

During the month of September we will celebrate the Day of Atonement

The Day Atonement points to the time when Christ will forever wash away our sins on our record books using his blood


What Is a Record Book? What is a record book?....God writes down everything we do in this life on a record book, whether GOOD or BAD

Before we can go to heaven with Christ, we must be free from sin and our record books must be free from sin as well

Think of using an eraser

When you make a mistake while writing something down on a sheet of paper, the eraser will remove the mistake

Christ’s blood can be liken to an eraser but more POWERFUL


Let’s Look at the BibleIf you would like to read about the Cruci!xion of Jesus Christ (The Lamb that died for our sins) read St. John 19 & Matthews 27.

It’s a sad story, but he did it because he love us!
