BEHOLD THE LAMB

BEHOLD THE LAMB (provided by Dorothy Crout Bryant)

“FOR GOD SENT NOT HIS SON INTO THE WORLD TO CONDEMN THE WORLD; BUT THAT THE WORLD THROUGH HIM MIGHT BE SAVED. HE THAT BELIEVETH ON HIM IS NOT CONDEMNED; BUT HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT IS CONDEMNED ALREADY, BECAUSE HE HATH NOT BELIEVED IN THE NAME OF THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD.”
JOHN 3:17-18

THE CALLING FOR ISRAEL:
“BUT HE ANSWERED AND SAID, I AM NOT SENT BUT UNTO THE LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL.” MATTHEW 15:24

THE BAPTISM OF YESHUA/JESUS:
“NOW WHEN ALL THE PEOPLE WERE BAPTIZED, IT CAME TO PASS, THAT JESUS ALSO BEING BAPTIZED, AND PRAYING, THE HEAVEN OPENED, AND THE HOLY GHOST DESCENDED IN A BODILY SHAPE LIKE A DOVE UPON HIM, AND A VOICE CAME FROM HEAVEN, WHICH SAID, THOU ART MY BELOVED SON, IN WHOM I AM WELL PLEASED. AND JESUS HIMSELF BEGAN TO BE ABOUT THIRTY YEARS OF AGE, THE SON OF JOSEPH, WHICH WAS THE SON OF HELI…..LUKE 3:21-23

“THESE THINGS WERE DONE IN BETHABARA BEYOND JORDAN, WHERE JOHN WAS BAPTIZING. THE NEXT DAY JOHN SEETH JESUS COMING UNTO HIM, AND SAITH, BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.” JOHN 1:28-29

FIRST YESHUA/JESUS HAD TO BE SENT TO EARTH: HIS MISSION WAS TO COME AS A HUMAN, AND WALK WITH MAN, FEELING WHAT THEY FELT AND SEEING WHAT THEY SAW; AND BEING TEMPTED IN ALL WAYS AS THEY WERE. AT THE AGE OF THIRTY, HE WAS BAPTIZED TO BEGIN HIS MINISTRY. FOR THREE AND ONE HALF YEARS, HE TAUGHT HIS DISCIPLES; WALKED ABOUT ISRAEL HEALING AND TEACHING REPENTANCE AND THAT THE KINGDOM OF GOD WAS AT HAND. THE PEOPLE DID NOT REALIZE HE WAS TALKING OF HIMSELF WHEN HE SPOKE OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

HE CAME FIRST TO THE JEWS, HIS OWN PEOPLE, BUT THEY DID NOT RECOGNIZE THEIR MESSIAH. HE HAD MANY JEWISH FOLLOWERS, INCLUDING HIS DISCIPLES, WHO BELIEVED THAT HE WAS YESHUA, THEIR LONG AWAITED MESSIAH. HIM, HE TAUGHT AND WALKED WITH.

THE SURRENDER TO THE FATHER’S CALLING:
“NOW IS MY SOUL TROUBLED; AND WHAT SHALL I SAY? FATHER, SAVE ME FROM THIS HOUR: BUT FOR THIS CAUSE CAME I UNTO THIS HOUR. FATHER, GLORIFY THY NAME. THEN CAME THERE A VOICE FROM HEAVEN, SAYING, I HAVE BOTH GLORIFIED IT, AND WILL GLORIFY IT AGAIN. THE PEOPLE THEREFORE, THAT STOOD BY, AND HEARD IT, SAID THAT IT THUNDERED: OTHERS SAID, AN ANGEL SPAKE TO HIM. JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID, THIS VOICE CAME NOT BECAUSE OF ME, BUT FOR YOUR SAKES. NOW IS THE JUDGMENT OF THIS WORLD; NOW SHALL THE PRINCE OF THIS WORLD BE CAST OUT. AND I, IF I BE LIFTED UP FROM THE EARTH, WILL DRAW ALL MEN UNTO ME. THIS HE SAID, SIGNIFYING WHAT DEATH HE SHOULD DIE. JOHN 12: 27-33

THE GIFT

HIS STEPS BECAME HEAVY AS HE CARRIED THE CROSS,
THERE WAS A JOB TO DO, HE MUST SAVE THE LOST.
THE SACRIFICE HAD TO BE PAID FOR SALVATION OF MAN.
THE JOURNEY WOULD CONTINUE TO GOD’S MASTER PLAN.

ANGRY CROWDS GATHERED, THEY DID NOT KNOW,
IT WAS THIS ACTION, FOR GOD’S UNFAILING LOVE TO SHOW.
A SACRIFICE HAD TO BE PAID TO REDEEM MANKIND,
THIS REDEMPTION PLAN TO PAY SINS DEBT BOGGLED THE MIND.

AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS HIS DISCIPLES AND MOTHER WEPT,
THEY KNEW THIS HAD TO BE DONE, HIS PROMISE KEPT.
OTHERS LAUGHED AND BEAT HIM AND MOCKED HIM IN SCORN,
THIS UNDERSTAND, IN HIS DEATH OTHERS WOULD BE REBORN.

A HATED JEW, THEY THOUGHT AS THEY PIERCED HIS SIDE,
THIS HE DESERVED, BUT IT WAS FOR THEM, HE DIED.
ONE DAY, THIS TRUTH WOULD BE BROUGHT HOME TO THEM
THEY WOULD REALIZE THEIR FUTURE WAS DIM.

A GIFT FROM YESHUA, A JEW, TO HIS PEOPLE, HIS OWN,
THE FREE GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE, CONCEIVED AT GOD’S THRONE.
LOVINGLY HE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE, A GIFT FOR EACH OF THEM,
THE CLEANSING AND THE PURIFYING FROM ALL THEIR SIN.

JUST AS THE PERFECT LAMB ON THE ALTAR WAS LAID,
THE HOLY SON, HIS LIFE GIVEN, THE SIN DEBT WAS PAID.
HOW PRECIOUS THE GIFT THAT WAS GIVEN,THAT DAY,
THE PERFECT LAMB OF GOD, OUR SINS WOULD TAKE AWAY.

“AND WHEN THEY WERE COME UNTO A PLACE CALLED GOLGOTHA, THAT IS TO SAY, A PLACE OF A SKULL, THEY GAVE HIM VINEGAR TO DRINK MINGLED WITH GALL: AND WHEN HE HAD TASTED THEREOF HE WOULD NOT DRINK. AND THEY CRUCIFIED HIM, AND PARTED HIS GARMENTS, CASTING LOTS: THAT IT MIGHT BE FULFILLED WHICH WAS SPOKEN BY TE PROPHET. THEY PARTED MY GARMENTS AMONG THEM, AND UPON MY VESTURE DID THEY CAST LOTS. AND SITTING DOWN THEY WATCHED HIM THERE; AND SET UP OVER HIS HEAD HIS ACCUSATION WRITTEN, THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.” MATTHEW 27:32-37

ABBA FATHER, THERE IS NO WAY TO EXPRESS THANKFULNESS FOR THE GIFT OF SALVATION, GIVEN BY THE PERFECT LAMB OF GOD. I PRAY MANY WILL COME TO KNOW YOUR BLESSED ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, WHO BROUGHT AND BOUGHT SALVATION FOR MANKIND. ABBA, THANK YOU FOR THE JOY OF THE LORD, THAT IS GIVEN TO STRENGTHEN US. THANK YOU FOR THE HOPE THAT IS WITHIN YOUR CHILDREN, THAT DAILY RESTORES US TO FELLOWSHIP WITH YOU. BLESS AND ENCOURAGE THE OLD, THE LONELY, THE INFIRMED, AND THE BEREAVED. PROTECT OUR SOLDIERS, AROUND THE WORLD, WHO ARE FIGHTING FOR OUR LIBERTY AND FREEDOM AND MINISTER TO THE HEARTS AND BODIES OF THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN WOUNDED, WHETHER MENTALLY OR PHYSICALLY; FATHER, THEY NEED YOU SO MUCH. BLESS MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND MEET THEIR NEEDS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE AND ALWAYS BEING THERE. IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF YESHUA/JESUS. AMEN

I HOPE YOU WILL TAKE THESE SCRIPTURES AND READ THE WHOLE STORY OF GOD’S LOVE FOR YOU. GOD BLESS YOU….KEEP LOOKING UP.
