When you think of a lamb, what do you think of?
Is it that soft fuzzy toy that your child played with as a toddler?
Or perhaps you think of a newborn lamb resting in the fresh spring grass?
When I hear the word “lamb” I cannot help but think of the many lambs in the Bible: the lamb sent by God for Abraham to sacrifice, the lambs being herded by Joseph and his brothers, the many lambs being shepherded by a young David who would later be king, the lambs whose blood was brushed on the door frames as a signal for the Angel of Death to pass over God’s people, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, the lamb of God sent as a sacrifice for my sins- Christ Jesus.
We are now in the season of Lent, a time when we are to prepare our hearts and minds to remember the sacrifice of that lamb and his resurrection. But this remembrance should not happen only during these 40 days leading up to Easter, we should remember that sacrifice EVERY DAY of our lives!
