Jesus: The Triumphant Lamb
And I looked, and behold,
in the midst of the throne . . .
stood a Lamb as though it had been slain.
Jesus is the Triumphant Lamb who was slain to give you victory. When no one else could open the Book of Life, His death gave Him the authority to unveil the mysteries of life and of the future. He stands in Heaven with seven crowns, which symbolize His ruling power. He stands complete in the Father’s plan. Because the Triumphant Lamb will complete the Father’s purpose in the last day, He can complete the Father’s purpose in your life for this day. The question is not why sin seems to be so triumphant in the world today; the question is whether you will let Jesus defeat the sin that you face.
O meek and tender Lamb of God, I come to You for forgiveness. Take away my sin. Give me victory!
Jesus is the Lamb who stood silently before His accusers. “He was oppressed and He was afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter” (Isaiah 53:7). Jesus was the sacrificial yearling Lamb who took away the sins of the world (John 1:29). He understands your frailty and weakness; He can take away your sin because He took it upon Himself. He died for you that you might not die for your sin.
O Lamb, out of Your weakness comes strength; out of Your meekness comes honor. I sing a new song with those in Heaven, “Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power” (Revelation 4:11). I marvel at Your greatness and sing again, “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive . . . wisdom, and strength, . . . and blessings” (Revelation 5:12). Amen.
