Where is the Lamb??

Where is the Lamb??

And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering? Genesis 22:7

Last Sunday, my Pastor preached an expository verse by verse sermon, (which is a not done by many preachers today) but he preached his sermon from Genesis 22. It was a great sermon and almost like a verbal commentary on each verse, I really enjoyed it.

When he came to verse 7, God spoke to my heart and mind, even more since I have had a chance to muse on it. One of the key phrases “Where is the Lamb??”  Now, I have heard this preached many times over the years, but I would like to expound to you my take and what God laid on my heart.

Where is the Lamb?? I say, HE’S HERE!! And first, He is here for your family.  Many homes and families rally around a lot of things, Life, love and laughter, just to name a few things.  But what a great precedence we find here in Genesis 22 and it is a lamb for your family. Moses would echo this thought and lesson in Israel’s wilderness journey with the tabernacle.  For the protection from sin, to be made right with God, each family needs a lamb.

Where is the Lamb?? He’s here for your family. But secondly, Where is the Lamb, He is here for your faith.  For what you really believe in. You need a lamb.  The bible says in Hebrews 12:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Your faith needs a lamb to believe in and rely on.  Many times we will sacrifice, serve and study his word, a personal lamb.

It is a lamb for your family and your faith, then thirdly, for your future. Where lamb in your future??  Well, it could all depend on your relationship with the lamb. How do you treat the lamb, it could affect your home, happiness and heaven, all of which is your future. In John Chapter 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.

Yes, the Lamb is Jesus, Behold, take notice!! The Lamb of God!!  Clearly fulfilling the Old Testament type, especially in Genesis 22, The Lord Jesus, He is who you need, He is the Lamb and He is here!!

Dear Friend, how long will you turn from this??  He is here, hallelujah!! He’s just a prayer away. For whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. For with the heart man believes and with mouth confession is made unto salvation. You must be born again.

God Bless you, and God will provide you a lamb.
