“But where is the lamb for a burnt offering?” Let us send up the challenge to the heavens above: “Where is the Lamb?” Angels, where is the Lamb? Gabriel, will you step forward? The echo comes back: “Where is the Lamb?” Where? Where? Ah beloved friends, that was the cry for ages and ages, till one day John the Baptist pointed with his finger to a man walking along, and said, “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” “My son, God will provide Himself a lamb for the burnt offering.” That is He. See “the carpenter’s son,” despised and rejected of men, led as a lamb to the slaughter, and dumb before its shearers—behold the Lamb that God has provided.
