Holy is the Lamb (Good Friday Post)

Does He still feel the nails, every time I fail?

Does He hear the crowd cry, “Crucify!” again?

Am I causing Him pain?

Then I know I’ve got to change,

“Cause I can’t bear the thought of hurting Him.

And we cry “Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lamb.”

Yes, we cry “Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lamb.”

First Corinthians 11 verses 24 and 25 reads, “And when He had given thanks, he broke

the bread, and said, ‘Take, eat, this is my body, which is broken for you. Do this in

remembrance of me.’ And in the same manner, He also took the cup after supper, saying,

‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in

remembrance of me.”

 

 

Every Sunday, we gather to partake of the Lord’s supper, or “Communion.” In this

special part in our worship, we remember our Lord’s death as we drink the fruit of the vine,

and eat unleavened bread.

 

Jesus is the Lamb of God. Just as the Passover lamb was slaughtered to save the lives

of the first born children of Israel, Jesus was killed for the forgiveness of our sins.

Peter and John are recorded in the Bible as calling 

Jesus “the Lamb of God.”

 

Peter wrote that, “We were redeemed with the precious blood

of Christ, like that of a Lamb without defect or blemish” in I Peter 1:19.

John wrote about the most majestic Lamb of God. Revelation 5:12 reads, “The lamb

who was SLAUGHTERED is worthy to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength

and honor and glory and Blessing!”

In thinking about the LORD’s suffering and death after the Crucifixion, I know that

Peter and John must have reflected on this assignment that Jesus gave them: “Go and
Prepare the Passover Lamb.”

Later they realized that their friend and leader had to be sacrificed like the perfect Passover lamb for the salvation of the world.

Like Peter and John, I hope that the image of the perfect lamb of God is deeply

engraved on our hearts as we remember what Jesus did for us on the Cross, especially
during the Lord’s Supper each Sunday!

Did you know that you can accept the sacrifice of the perfect lamb as the work of God for

the forgiveness of YOUR sins? The Bible says that if you confess yours sins, repent, and
take on the righteousness of Christ through the death, burial, and resurrection of Baptism,
then you can live your life for Jesus, receiving the free gift of eternal life with the Father,
God! It is a free gift, but it is not cheap!

So let’s remember His sacrifice, and give of yourself to
others in service, and give life to God’s way of living!

It is the best way to live. 
 

The following video is also one which features all of the lyrics to the song above by Ray Boltz.  I believe it is worth viewing, however, it is very graphic : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpHYJScbxCY
