Simplifying the Truth
People say that Jesus is the Lamb of God. But why a lamb specifically? It goes back to Passover. The parallels between Passover and the Crucifixion are astounding. God knew what He was doing when He instituted Passover.
After the death of Jesus, all hope seemed lost. The disciples scattered. Lost and confused. Scared and depressed. Little did they know just how close they were to the greatest triumph in all of human history.
As we approach the Easter season, I wish to reflect upon all that Jesus endured on the Cross. We know the story. We know why He did it. Sometimes, though, I fear we don’t fully grasp the magnitude of His suffering.
