The Lamb That Was Slaughtered Pt. 1

Chuck Swindoll explores the profound biblical symbolism of the lamb, tracing its significance from Genesis through to Christ as the ultimate Passover sacrifice. He begins by noting how lambs seem weak and unimpressive as symbols of power, yet God chose this humble image to represent the most transformative figure in history - Jesus Christ, announced as the Lamb of God.

Through examining key passages including Abraham and Isaac's sacrifice, the Passover in Exodus, and Isaiah's prophecy of the suffering servant, Swindoll demonstrates how God wove a crimson thread throughout Scripture pointing to Christ's sacrificial death. He emphasises that while Jewish worship required continual animal sacrifices with blood constantly flowing from altars, Christ our Passover was sacrificed once for all, completing what He declared from the cross: "Tetelestai" - it is finished.
