The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! [John 1:29]

He took your sin.
He spilled his blood.
He opened the way to the Father.
It was a way previously closed to you because of your sin and nothing of this world would tear that curtain open.
No amount of good works.
No amount of money given.
No amount of years serving on church council or even teaching Sunday school.
There was nothing that would earn your way through the curtain.
But Jesus, the Lamb of God, the perfect, spotless Lamb, came and offered himself for you.
Jesus, the Son of God gave his life because your life was condemned.
Jesus, Lord and Savior, showed his power and dominion over that which enslaved you, but it could never hold him.
Jesus, victorious King, embarrassed the enemy and made his hold look like it was done with tissue paper.
Jesus, the Lamb of God, not because you deserved it, rather because you are loved with a love that is steadfast, awesome and endures forever.
Jesus, the Lamb of God,
Behold him for he beholds you.
