Take this message with you through a journey of Scripture, reflection, and prayer.
Summary
Themes
Key Points
- 1.John the Baptist introduced Jesus as the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, linking Him directly to the Old Testament sacrificial system.
- 2.In Exodus 12, God commanded small households to share a lamb with their neighbors, illustrating that no problem is too big for the Lamb and that believers must share Jesus with others.
- 3.Jesus is our Good Shepherd who intimately cares for His sheep and lays down His life for them, unlike hired hands who flee during trouble.
- 4.Shepherds pour oil over a lamb's head to protect its eyes from irritating pests, picturing how the Holy Spirit's anointing cleanses our vision and defends our minds against enemy distractions.
- 5.Marking doorframes with the blood of the Passover lamb created an uncrossable boundary against death, showing that placing faith in Jesus' blood protects our families from spiritual destruction.
- 6.Believers must never water down the message of the cross or the blood of Jesus, as it is solely through His sacrifice that we are saved from sin and decay.
- 7.During the Last Supper, no cooked lamb was on the table because Jesus, the true Lamb of God, was Himself seated at the table with His disciples.
- 8.Communion is an act of holy remembrance that also serves to re-member dismembered believers back into the unified body of Christ after seasons of hurt, shame, or isolation.
Sermon Moments
“If any house is too small for a whole lamb, share one with your neighbor. There is no problem, sin, shame, or sickness too big for the Lamb of God to solve.”
“Shepherds pour oil over a lamb's head to wash out pests and protect its eyes. In the same way, the Holy Spirit's oil protects our hope and vision from the enemy's tormenting flies.”
“If the angel of death could not cross the line marked by the blood of the lamb, then the devil cannot cross the blood line over your home and family.”
“We will never water down the blood of Jesus, because it is only by His precious blood that we are saved from destruction and sin.”
“During the Last Supper, there was no lamb served on the table because the Lamb of God was seated at the table.”
“The world drinks alcohol to forget its pain, but believers take the cup of communion to remember all that Jesus has done for us.”
“Communion does not only help us remember Jesus; it re-members us back into the body of Christ when shame or church hurt has disconnected us.”
