Devotions from God Pause: “Come, See, Stay” Today, John the Baptist prepares the way for Jesus by introducing us to Jesus, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. By recalling the Passover Lamb of Exodus, pointing to Jesus as the Lamb of God emphasizes the way that Jesus gives his life for our salvation. Though sin separates us from God, Jesus reconciles us to God, overcoming the sin of the world by his “obedience unto death, even death on the cross” (Philippians 2:8).In John’s message we are called to “come and see” and ponder the depth of the sacrifices made for us in Jesus the Lamb of God. How could we ever repay such love except by passing on the story of such a gift. In our worship we continue to sing its power for us: “Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world, have mercy on us…grant us peace.” Increase online giving.
