God Will Provide Himself a Lamb

The sinfulness of sin was so egregious to God, no decision or deed, no profession or ceremony could satisfy divine justice. A Lamb was required for blood sacrifice. John the Baptist declared of Christ, "Behold, the Lamb of God" (John 1:29). It was the shedding of His blood that satisfied God, His justice and turned away His wrath. By the true Lamb no part of salvation was left undone.
