“Behold the Lamb of God…”
SQUEAMISH SAINTS
I offer a warning to all those professing Christians who are shallow thinkers and light hearted in their knowledge of the scriptures. This article is not for you. It can be very upsetting and unnerving for such fickle followers of Christ.
THE LAMB THE WORLD AND RELIGION GENERALLY ACCEPT
The worldling and carnal Christian have no problem with Mary’s little Lamb in the manger. It is the Lamb on the Throne, with a heart of a Lion, who creates a complication for them. Not the child Jesus, but the Man Christ Jesus is the one who becomes problematic. This is why Satan attempted on every hand to destroy Him in His infancy. The devil knew, unlike the world, what He would grow into. A REAL PROBLEM!
THE HIGH COST OF DISOBEYING AND OBEYING GOD
It was a rejection of the lamb that brought about all the deaths of the firstborn in Egypt, including children. Hundreds of years later, it was God’s Lamb who caused Herod to kill all the male children, two and younger. But it the wise men, who obeyed God, that provoked the king to do this. Was Satan trying to get even for the Passover Lamb and the death of the pagans’ children in Exodus?
THE LAMB AND THE FAMILY
God’s Lamb told the people of His Day, “Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.” Then He proceeds to tell them He will be the cause of division in their families (Matt. 10:34-38). It was a lamb that caused hatred and death in the first family. You know, Cain and Abel. IT WAS ALL ABOUT A LAMB! (1 Jn. 3:12)
A NOTE FOR ALL WHO WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH GOD’S LAMB
“And [they]said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us (suffocation) , and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?” (Rev. 6:16-17)
