Behold the Lamb of God
WHO GAVE HIMSELF FOR YOU
Jesus established the Lord’s Supper while eating the Passover meal. On the night before his death, he and his friends gathered around a table with a whole roasted lamb lying right in the center. In this moment he revealed that the true meaning of the celebration wasn’t the lamb upon the table, but the Lamb presiding over the table! That he was what it was really all about. The one true Lamb of God that would be offered to redeem his people forevermore. Fast forward to 2026. We’re on the other side of the cross. We know that "Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed for us" (1 Cor 5:7). But we're separated from the urgency, the embodied reality, and the historical happening of that moment. We struggle to believe because we cannot see. So God gives us communion: a special means of beholding the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world through the broken bread and poured out cup.
