John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world
Jesus knew his destiny, what he came to Earth for. He knew that He was to be the Sacrificial Lamb and purchase Salvation for a lost and dying world.
When I think of his willingness to be The Sacrifice for my sins, I can’t help but think how unworthy I am. What a Mighty Love! What a Mighty God! And then to think, had I been the only one He still would have paid the price for me. Had you been the only one He would have died for you.
Now skip ahead to the 18th chapter of John. In the garden, the day they came to take Jesus away to die for your sins. The book of John records a detail that is not mentioned in the other gospels. Jesus knew what they were there for, but he asked who are you looking for. They replied Jesus of Nazareth and Jesus answered: “I am He”. Look what chapter 18 verse 6 has to say.
John 18:6 (KJV) As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.
It was like a bomb went off when Jesus said those words, they all went backward and fell to the ground. Just the Power in his voice caused them to all fall down.
He was about to be the Lamb, but I believe that for just one second he wanted to show them that He was also the Lion of Judah, so He let out a little Lion’s Roar, I Am He! And I don’t believe he shouted, I think he just spoke it, but the power was released.
He then surrendered to them and ushered in our hope of Salvation. That price has been paid in full. It’s still in full effect. His death paid it all.
Jesus is also still the Lion of Judah. You can call out to Him, and his power can still make your situations go backward and fall to the ground. The mention of the Name of Jesus and all the universe takes notice. Power to heal, to deliver and to Save all in his beautiful Name.
When we need a Lamb to take away our sins, Jesus Is!
When we need a Lion to help us stand against the enemy, Jesus Is!
Whatever the situation He Is!
God Bless You Richly,
