JanMary Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Q4. (John 1:29) What does the title “Lamb of God” tell us about Jesus’ ministry? "Lamb of God "tells us that Jesus was born to die....God's beloved Son came to give His life...the spotless sacrifice. According to 1:29, whose sins did he come to take away? He came to take away the sins of the whole world. (Whosoever will may come) In what ways did Jesus fulfill Isaiah 53? In every way, in great detail: He was revealed as the Father's arm. The Servant of God who grew up as a tender shoot out of dry ground. He had no comeliness (royal, kingly pomp, or beauty)that we should desire Him. He was despised and rejected, forsaken by men. A Man of sorrows and pains, acquainted with grief and sickness. Men despised Him and had no esteem for Him. On the cross He bore our grief's, sicknesses, weaknesses and distresses, carried our sorrows and pains of punishment. He was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our guilt and sin. The chastisement needful to obtain peace and well being was upon Him. With the stripes that wounded Him, we are healed and made whole as He carried all guilt and iniquity for us all. He was oppressed, yet while afflicted, He was submissive and opened not His mouth....like a lamb led to slaughter, though He had done no wrong, violence or deceit. When He died He was buried with the wicked, in a rich man's grave. As He looked ahead He saw His offspring...all those who would choose to receive the sacrifice of His shed blood in order to receive His righteousness. What a God! What a savior! What love! What mercy! What Grace! Soon we will see Him face to Face! Even so, come Lord Jesus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Jan Marie that was beautiful! I don't know what to add. Lamb of God tells us that Jesus was the Lamb, God's own spotless Lamb, sent by God, to be the sacrificial Lamb that we might have forgiveness of sins, be redeemed, adopted by God. Jesus came from a perfect relationship to this world which as recent weeks have reinforced is the complete opposite of that. He came to take away the sin of the world, to deliver us from this kingdom of darkness and bring us into His Kingdom (Col.1:13). In what ways did Jesus fulfill Isaiah 53. He grew up as a sapling in complete humbleness and wretched condition. He was not beautiful to gaze at as we look at people now. He was not charismatic as we desire, someone who will puff us up with our own important. He was despised, lowly, a man of sorrows, who knew suffering, we averted our gaze at Him because of His wretched condition as if there were something wrong with Him and we did not want to associate with Him. He was all the while here for us while we in our puffed up arrogance thought He was being punished for something He did. The punishment which we deserved fell on Him and we didn't recognize it. Just a little obtuse of us would you not say. God brought all our acts of rebellion on Him. He paid the price for us fully and completely never objecting (I myself would have been like a squealing pig). He was put to death in the most cruel manner like someone who had a curse on Him (He had our curse on Him). He was put to death with the wicked as though He were wicked. He was buried with the rich even though He lived His life with the poorest of the poor and the dregs of society. He who owns everything was given a tomb by a 'rich' man. When I read this I want to fall at His feet and cry. Oh God I am so sorry. Thank you for forgiving me! God Bless!

blezed Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 What does the title “Lamb of God” tell us about Jesus’ ministry? According to 1:29, whose sins did he come to take away? In what ways did Jesus fulfill Isaiah 53? The "Lamb of God" tells us that Jesus ministry is a ministry of atonement and sacrifice. He would be used instead of an animal sacrifice to gain forgiveness for our sin. He came to take away the sins of the world. Isaiah 53 prophesized that there would be one that would be led to the slaughter like a lamb to pay the penalty for our sin. Jesus was that perfect sacrifice.

Clarence Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Q4. (John 1:29) What does the title “Lamb of God” tell us about Jesus’ ministry? According to 1:29, whose sins did he come to take away? In what ways did Jesus fulfill Isaiah 53? The notes state that whatever kind of lamb John the Baptist was referring to, 'the Lamb of God', was portrayed by the author, in some sacrificial sense. The shedding of the blood was important for the atonement of sins (Leviticus 17:11). Jesus came to the world to take away the sin of the world (John 3:16, 17). Isaiah 53 is an apt description of what Jesus came to the world for. He was despised and rejected by the populace and religious leaders (Matt 16:21ff) and so he suffered and ultimately was put to death on the cross.

Delivered Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 John 1:29 the next day John sees Jesus coming unto him, and said, Behold the Lamb of God, which takes away the sin of the world. Q4. (John 1:29) What does the title "Lamb of God" tell us about Jesus' ministry? Q.According to 1:29, whose sins did he come to take away? In what ways did Jesus fulfill Isaiah 53? One of the many ministries of the Son of God told here by John is that of “God the Father’s Lamb”, a title that reminds us of the lamb offered by each Jewish family at the time of Exodus (12:15) and that all sacrifices were to be without blemish, another ministry of God’s Lamb is that he would be the final and perfect “Passover Lamb”, that was offered up by God as a sin offering that would be an atonement for sin, not just for Israel, but for the sins of the world, for whosoever will: However, the fulfillment of the Lambs ministry goes even further, as we read John’s vision in Revelation, and we come to understand more fully the reason why “God the Son” left his place of Glory, in order to become man, to become the Lamb of God. (Revelation 5) John saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne, (God the Father is the one sitting on the throne, the One who sent His Lamb) was a book that was sealed with seven seals, and a strong angel proclaiming, Who is “WORTHY” to open the book and to break its seal, but there was “NO ONE” in earth, under the earth, that was able to open, to read, or even to look in it, it was because no man was found “worthy” that John wept “MUCH” ---- until one of the elders said to John, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the book, and to break the seals, and John beheld, in the midst of the throne stood a “Lamb” as it had been slain, and He took the book out of the right hand of Him who sat upon the throne, for the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to lose the seven seals thereof. The description of the Messiah draws on Jacob’s blessing upon his son Judah, (Gen 49:9-10) Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up? The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh, the Messiah, come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. The Root of David draws on Isaiah 11:1-10 and a branch will grow out of his roots, a description of the Messiah and the Messianic Age of peace that the Lamb will establish. A Lamb slaughtered is the allusion to (Isaiah 53:7-8) 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 opens not his mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? For he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. The Lion of Judah is God’s Lamb slaughtered, who came first as a Lamb sacrificed for sin, who will return as a Lion to execute judgment, to rule the world, and who will bring peace to whosoever will believe.

sister1 Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Q4. (John 1:29) the title "Lamb of God" that John speaks of was the perfect sacrifice that was able to atone for the sins of man. Nothing else was pure enough that could cleanse or wash away our sins. Jesus fulfill Isaiah's prophecy (Isaiah 53:4-5 surely he hath borne our grief's, and carried our sorrows: yet we did not esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.) (But he was wounded for our transgression, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement was upon him: and with his stripe we are healed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pickledilly Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Jesus set aside His deity and took on human flesh for the purpose of atoning humanity's sin and redeeming us from God’s judgment of sin. Before the foundations of creation were laid, the plan was set that He would be the Lamb of God - the ultimate sinless, blameless, spotless, innocent who would stand in our place of judgment and offer His own blood as our payment of debt created by our transgressions. A picture of this was given to the Jews when God delivered them from His final judgment on Egypt via a lamb’s blood applied to the doorway of each household [Exodus 12:3]. God also declared that once Israel entered the land God promised them, each family must bring a lamb for sacrifice each year to the Passover commemoration of that deliverance [Exodus 12:21-27]. He explained in Mosaic law that atonement for sin required blood sacrifice as one life (the innocent animal sacrifice) was offered in place of another (the one whose transgression against God created a sin debt) [Leviticus 17:11; Hebrews 9:22]. This was all to demonstrate what was required to atone for sin before God and to picture the final sacrificial Lamb who would complete and end the need for continual offerings every year. Jesus came to die for our sins, to pour out His innocent blood on heaven's altar of God to secure our eternal pardon from sin. Although first offered to the Jewish people, John 1:29 makes it clear that this forgiveness of sin was not just for them. It is an atonement secured for the whole world, valid for eternity since the day of Christ’s resurrection (which proved God's acceptance of the blood sacrifice as payment in full for the debt of sin). The words of Isaiah 53:5-6 were given as prophecy by immortal, timeless God, the Alpha and Omega who already sees all from the beginning to the end. God revealed to us what Jesus would endure and accomplish for all mankind. Innocent Jesus willingly bore the pains, sick-ness, wounds, bruising, chastisement, and blows that all originate in our transgressions and iniquities that result as we all stray from the righteousness of God and seek our own way. And God struck Jesus with the full weight of the consequences that were due to us. When the world saw this, rather than understanding that Christ suffered all of this as our Mediator and Deliverer, it interpreted that He was personally reviled and afflicted by God. In spite of all this, what have we gained because Christ was willing to be the Lamb of God? He secured and now offers what the angels foretold at His birth – the peace and favor and wholeness of heaven extended from God toward man, something we could never have gained ourselves. Hallelujah, what a Savior! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitar Jim Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Q4. (John 1:29) What does the title “Lamb of God” tell us about Jesus’ ministry? Jesus came to offer himself as a sacrifice for the sins of all mankind. He came to supercede the traditional animal sacrifices, which only ever provided a temporary atonement, and to become a permanent sacrifice, once and for all, to make us right with God. According to 1:29, whose sins did he come to take away? The sins of the world. Our sins, everybody's sins. In what ways did Jesus fulfill Isaiah 53? At His crucifixion Jesus fulfilled Isaiah 53 to the letter! He was pierced, He was crushed, He shed his life's blood down to the last drop. The punishment He underwent did indeed buy us peace with God, and by His wounds we are healed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanks Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Q4. (John 1:29) What does the title "Lamb of God" tell us about Jesus' ministry? According to 1:29, whose sins did he come to take away? In what ways did Jesus fulfill Isaiah 53? In OT times God had taught His chosen people to slay a lamb and to sprinkle its blood as a sacrifice. The lamb was killed as a substitute and its blood shed so that sins might be forgiven. God takes sin very seriously, so seriously that blood had to be spilt and a life had to be taken, to pay the penalty for sin. However, the blood of the lambs slain during the OT period did not put away sin, it only pointed to the ‘Lamb of God’ that God would one day provide to actually take away sin – once and forever. When John said ‘… takes away the sin of the world,’ he did not mean that every single person’s sins will be forgiven, but only those sinners who have repented and received the Lord Jesus as their Saviour. However, the death of Jesus was great enough in value to pay for all the sins of the whole world, whether past, present or future, but for this to happen, each person must come to Jesus in faith. Isaiah 53 foretells the life and ministry of our Lord Jesus; mentioning His death, His burial, and His resurrection. All as described in the Gospels, especially in the Gospel of Mark.

servant for Christ Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 The title tells us that Jesus is the Lamb provided by God to be sacrificed in the place of sinners. By His death, Jesus made provision for the removal of the guilt and power of sin and opened the way to God for all in the world. He came to take every single person's sin. EVERYBODY! The ways in which He fulfilled Isaiah 53: He was despised, rejected, bore our grief, wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities, chastisement for our peace, by His stripes we are healed, we all have sinned and need Christ to die in our place, as a lamb to the slaughter, His grave with the wicked (died alongside) . It was God the Fathers will that His Son be sent to die on the cross for a lost world, travail of His soul, made intercession for the transgressors. Jesus Christ did all of those things for us.

PeteD Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 I agree with Pastor Ralph that the "Lamb of God" phase has to do with the perfect and complete sacrifice for our sins. The recognition by John the Baptist of Jesus as this Lamb is significant. When he said "Behold" he was pointing out the one who would be slain. And whose Lamb was it? It was God's lamb - his dear Son which says something about the infinite cost for God that he would give his one and only Son. Wow!, Thank You Lord. This Lamb is said to take away the sins of the world. I believe this indicates that the adequacy of the sacrifice is sufficient for all,, that is all who believe on him and receive him. (John 1: 12) Jesus is the Lamb so poignantly described in Isaiah 53. Thank you all who eloquently pointed this out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lighthouse2014 Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Q4. (John 1:29) What does the title “Lamb of God” tell us about Jesus’ ministry? According to 1:29, whose sins did he come to take away? In what ways did Jesus fulfill Isaiah 53? The title "lamb of God" tells us Jesus was sent from God to atone for our sins. According to John 1:29 Jesus the lamb of God was sent to not only provide sacrifice for sins of Israel but also for the whole world. Jesus fulfilled three prophecies of Isaiah 53:, by becoming the sacrifice God provided for our sins. By the shedding of his blood he made atonement for sins of all the world. God required the blood of sacrifices for the peoples' sins. Once a year the Israelite s were to offer up a young lamb or goat for their sins and the blood of the sacrifice was sprinkled on the alter. The cross became the alter for the sacrifice of Christ blood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgandy Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Lamb of God tells us that Jesus is the sacrifice. Lambs were used by the Jews for sacrifices for the forgiveness of sin. Jesus pure and unblemished was the sacrifice for our sins. The prophecy in Isaiah describes His ministry and sacrifice that He took on himself by divine appointment. He humbled himself for us and forgave us of all of our sins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dillards Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Lamb of God is the sacrifice... The only sacrifice ever needed because Jesus was totally innocent but by His free will, he took all the blame/punishment on our behalf. He paid the price for every sinner that has ever lived, even those responsible for killing him. Jesus could have removed himself from the torture at any time, but He gave His life freely so that we can live! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebeccaMallinson Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 I think the title Lamb of God tells us two things. Firstly that he is spotless and without blemish and totally innocent. Secondly that he is to be the ultimate sacrifice, because of this extreme purity and that he is ‘of God’. He came to take away the sins of the world, not just the Jews, but everybody. This is puzzling to me as it contradicts other parts of the Gospels (including John 1:11) that state that he came firstly to Israel and only when they refused to acknowledge him did he go to the Gentiles. Jesus fulfils Isaiah 53 perfectly and goes into a great deal of detail about how he is the perfect sacrifice for our sins. Outwardly he is like an ordinary person (‘no form or majesty that we should look at him’) He was despised and rejected by men. The Lord laid on him the iniquity of us all (in other words he was sacrificed for the sins of us all). The analogy with the sacrificial lamb is there, emphasising that he made no protest.

AnonymousK Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 The title “Lamb of God” tells us that Jesus’ ministry was sacrificial in giving up His glory to be obedient to His Father. According to John 1:29 Jesus came to take away the sins of the world (everyone). Jesus fulfilled Isaiah 53 in that He was beaten, nailed to the cross, His side pierced, and that He took on all our sins so that we may have forgiveness.

quilter Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 In Exodus 29:38-42 it tells every morning and evening a lamb was sacrificed in the Temple for the sins of the people. Isaiah 53:7 prophesied that the Messiah would be led to slaughter like a lamb The sins of the world were removed when Jesus died on the cross as the perfect sacrifice. This is the way our sins are forgiven. All we have to do is confess to and and ask for forgiveness. This is for everyone one and all.

parkerslope Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 What does the title "Lamb of God" tell us about Jesus' ministry? The point of God sending Jesus to become a man was to make payment for the sins of all people of all time. So God starts out by providing a sacrifice for Abraham when he was about to sacrifice Isaac. The in the Law, it was written that a lamb was to be used as a sacrifice for sin. According to 1:29, whose sins did He come to take away? Everyones! In what ways did Jesus fulfill Isaiah 53? 1.
