Why a Lamb?

Summary

The sermon explores the significance of Jesus Christ being described as the Lamb of God, focusing on the story of the Ethiopian eunuch who, despite his worldly authority, humbly accepts Christ after understanding Isaiah 53. It emphasizes that Jesus' lamb-like humility and silence in the face of injustice fulfill prophecy and reveal God's provision for humanity's greatest need: atonement for sin. The preacher contrasts the rejection of Jesus by some with the acceptance by others, highlighting that Jesus meets people at their deepest need, offering forgiveness and spiritual nourishment. Ultimately, the Lamb is both a sacrifice for sin and a shepherd who feeds and cares for His followers.
