The Lamb of God.

"He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth" (Isaiah 53:7 KJV). Oh precious Lamb of God, how good you are. Jesus Christ bore the sin penalty of mankind. Christ knew His destiny when He stepped down from heaven onto this earth. Jesus came to this earth with a purpose, and that purpose was to be the Lamb of God, the sacrifice that would redeem man back to God the Father. He was mocked and suffered so you and I could have freedom. He was whipped, spit on, and hung on a cross to pay sin's debt for you and I. He was a man wrongly accused and rejected by His own. However, the rejection and false accusations did not stop Jesus from going to the cross. He just saw the hurt, the pain, and the darkness that had them blinded to the Truth. He said nothing at all. He did not speak a word, but He took the punishment for humanity. He paid our sin debt once and for all. It was Christ's choice. God the Father cannot take any other offering except the offering of His Only Begotten Son. This is the only offering or sacrifice that will save a soul from eternal hell. "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends" (John 15:13 KJV). Christ did all this for you and I. God bless you. Amen
