Day 2 - Sunday Sermon Recap

Welcome to day 2 of our devotional based on last Sunday’s Sermon:

John 1:29-34 - The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who ranks before me, because he was before me.’ I myself did not know him, but for this purpose I came baptizing with water, that he might be revealed to Israel.” And John bore witness: “I saw the Spirit descend from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him. I myself did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’ And I have seen and have borne witness that this is the Son of God.” 

John the Baptist's declaration of Jesus as "the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world" connects the Old Testament Passover with Christ's sacrifice. Just as the blood of the lamb saved the Israelites from death, Jesus' blood saves us from spiritual death. 

Today, meditate on the depth of God's love demonstrated through this ultimate sacrifice. How does understanding Jesus as our Passover Lamb change your perspective on your own sins and struggles? Take time to thank God for His provision of salvation and ask Him to help you live in the freedom that comes from being covered by the blood of the Lamb.
