Messiah…
God of the Holy Bible is incredible! He described His Anointed One, the Messiah, long before Jesus left heaven and came to earth as a baby, born in Bethlehem.
Messiah is described in the feast of the Passover!
The Lamb of God, Jesus the Messiah, the Christ!
(NASB) John 1:29 “… (John the Baptist) saw Jesus coming to him and said, ‘Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!’”God told the Hebrews what to use in this special sacrifice… while they were still in Egypt.
(NASB) Exodus 12:5 “Your lamb shall be an unblemished male a year old; you may take it from the sheep or the goats.”
Jesus, the Lamb of God was without sin – He never sinned, not once! 2 Corinthians 5:21
(NASB) Exodus 12:6 “…to kill it at twilight.” (On the night of Passover)
Jesus, the Lamb of God was crucified and died at 3 pm (the ninth hour)… at the time of the evening sacrifice on the altar in the temple area. Matthew 27:45-50
The LORD God planned the “picture” of His Messiah long before Messiah came to earth.
~ Take it to heart ~
Messiah… the Anointed One of God came to redeem you and me. Our sins exact a price, which has to be paid.
Jesus took your sins and mine; He paid the price we should have paid.
Jesus, Messiah, was without sin and therefore the perfect sacrifice which God the Father accepted. We know this because Jesus was resurrected to physical life on the third day after His death.
Through faith in Him anyone can be saved by Messiah Jesus, the perfect Lamb of God.
Messiah!
“Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!”
