Read

The blood on the houses where you are staying will be a sign; when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No plague will fall on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.

Exodus 12:13 (BSB)

The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

John 1:29 (BSB)

Think

On the night of the first Passover, the blood of a lamb on the door kept each family safe. Years later, John saw Jesus and said: look, the Lamb of God! The baby in the manger grew up to give His life for us.

Talk about it

Why do you think the Bible calls Jesus the Lamb of God?

Pray

Jesus, thank You for being the Lamb who takes away my sin.
