Good Morning Beauties!
Jesus, the perfect lamb, was crucified for us - for you. What is your first thought? It’s hard to grasp the gravity of such a sacrifice. Jesus never sinned he was blameless. All he ever did was love us, and he was the one who died for sinners like you and me. Selah.
You can find the complete story of the first Passover in the book of Exodus, chapter 12. There you will find the story of how the blood of a perfect lamb was put over and around the doorframe so that the wrath of God would pass by that particular house and save the first born. God provided a way to save these children, and yet he sacrificed his first born son. How much does he love us?
The love of the Lord is too amazing for words, for comprehension! Yes, we must submit our lives to our King, but you’ve heard it said “you must give your life to find it.” It’s so true! We are well loved and cared for when we follow Jesus and obey his commands. Just take a look. I’ve included a couple of promises found in the Book of Revelation regarding the Lamb…
Rev 17:14 NIV “They will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings—and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers.”
Rev 19:17-19 NIV “‘Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready. Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear.’ (Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of God’s holy people.) Then the angel said to me, ‘Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!’ And he added, ‘These are the true words of God.’”
Please write down your thoughts and make them into an offering of praise to God today. He is so worthy of our praise!!
“In a loud voice they were saying: ‘Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!’” Revelation 5:12 NIV
Let’s give honor and praise to Jesus, who is our worthy sacrificial lamb and promise of eternity.

“For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.”
