The sacrificial lamb both hearkens back to the story of the sacrifice of Isaac and forward to Jesus' role as the sacrificial lamb of our salvation. Each time we see this image, we also see God renewing and cementing his covenant with His people. Sacrifice and promise are once again at the forefront of the history of Jesus, and the Christian people.
Today, recall a time you were saved or delivered from harm. Recall a time in which someone set their own needs aside in order to serve or help you. Say a prayer of thanksgiving.
