Not what we say but who we are.

Our precious Lord was not hated and then killed for His beatitudes or parables, per se, but for Who He was (and claimed He was) – the Son of God. Nor, if we are truly Christ-like, will our “Christian teachings” save our lives. The same type of group who hated Him will hate those who are covered by His blood and proclaim the liberty such wonderful forgiveness gives.

THE LAMB

 

He is the Lamb before Creation’s first bright morn,

Slain (theologically) before born.

Christ is the Lamb of Revelation,

Lamb (more than Lion) in designation,

He’s the Lamb who wore the crown of thorn.
