SEEK DAILY (NBC) DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR April 03, 2022 (BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD)
TOPIC: BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD
Bible Text: John 1:29-34
Memory Verse: “The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, ‘Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the whole world!’” John 1:29, NIV
MESSAGE
In the Old Testament, people provided animals for sacrifices. A sacrificial lamb was used on the Day of Atonement to make cleansing for the sins of the whole nation. But the New Testament indicates that “The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless… and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God” (Hebrews 7:19).
John introduced Jesus Christ as the new hope, and that our sins are atoned by His blood, He is God’s own Lamb. John points to Jesus as “the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” He willingly gave Himself as a sacrifice for all humankind to be free from the bondage of sin, Jesus is not only the Savior of Israel but of the whole world.
You need to believe in Jesus as the Savior of the world, and also testify about Him. Let others know through you that Jesus is our only means of salvation. He is the Lamb of God! No alternative sacrifice can offer salvation. For no other name is given under heaven by which we must be saved but only the name of Jesus! (Acts 4:12).
Insight: God’s provision is always final and not optional.
Prayer: I thank you Lord for taking away my sins. Help me to testify about you to others.
