What does the Lamb of God mean in the Bible and in the Mass? • Jesus is the Lamb of God • John the Baptist called Jesus the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world. • John encountered Jesus as a lamb in his vision of heaven in the Book of Revelation. • Peter and Paul both refer to Jesus as the sacrificial paschal Lamb of God. • What is the significance of the Lamb of God in the Bible? • In the Passover story, the Israelite slaughtered an unblemished lamb and spread the blood upon their doors so that the Spirt of the Lord would pass over them. • When Jesus celebrated the Passover with his disciples at the Last Supper, he was making the connection between himself and the Paschal Lamb of the Old Testament. His body would be the bread and his blood would be the wine. • This is why we proclaim before receiving communion, Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us. ...have mercy on us. ...grant us peace. (Or in Latin, Agnus Dei, miserere nobis...dona nobis pacem. ) • The sacrifice Jesus made of himself is the sacrifice of the lamb to take away our sins once and for all. Jesus is the unblemished lamb, the perfect person, who died so that we might live. • Just as the Israelites passed over from slavery in Egypt to freedom in the Promised Land, so too do we pass over from slavery to sin to freedom of everlasting life. • SUBSCRIBE for more Catholic videos: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_c... • CONNECT WITH THE RELIGION TEACHER: • -- Facebook: / thereligionteacher • -- Twitter: / religionteacher • -- Pinterest: / religionteacher • CONNECT WITH JARED: • -- Instagram: / jareddees • -- Twitter: / jareddees • -- LinkedIn: / jareddees • ARE YOU A RELIGIOUS EDUCATOR?
