Christmas: God Gave a Lamb to Take Away Our Sins
Joel Kontinen
Throughout the Bible, a lamb symbolizes purity and our need to atone for our trespasses.
However, that is something we cannot do. God, who knows everything, knew this and so He provided a means for our atonement.
Adam’s sin brought bad things to our world. Christmas marks the time when God sent His Lamb – the Lord Jesus Christ – to the world to eventually provide the ultimate sacrifice for sin.
Without the initial trespass in Eden there would be no need for Bethlehem that was the first step towards Calvary where the Lamb of God took away our sins.
