There is the Lamb of God

"The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Look! There is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!" John 1:29

Everyone knows that Jesus wasn't really a lamb. He was a man. For His whole life, He wasn't like a lamb at all. He was strong and bold until the end. Then He became like a lamb. The bible says that when Jesus died, "He was led as a lamb to the slaughter. And as a sheep is silent before the shearers, he did not open his mouth."

In the times of the Old Testament, people made sacrifices to God for their sins. These sacrifices were usually lambs. year after year, people made these sacrifices. Then Jesus came. He was the last sacrifice for sin. No one had to kill a little lamb again because of sin. Jesus is the Lamb of God whose death took away the sin off the world. "For God so loved the world that he gave hs only son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16).
