In our final blog post, we reflect on Jesus as the Lamb of God. John the Baptist called Him this, and in Revelation, the Lamb symbolizes His sacrifice for us. From Old Testament prophecies to the Christmas story, we see how God’s plan leads to Jesus. This journey shows us hope and redemption in Christ.
As Advent nears its end, we recall Isaiah’s prophecy of a child bringing light and Luke’s account of the angel Gabriel telling Mary about Jesus. These prophecies connect to Jesus as the Lamb of God, fulfilling ancient promises. Embracing Advent means recognizing Jesus’ arrival and the fulfillment of God’s promises.
The passages from Genesis and Isaiah depict the symbolism of the lamb, representing innocence, sacrifice, and redemption. They foreshadow Jesus’ ultimate sacrifice. The term “Agnus Dei,” meaning Lamb of God in Latin, beautifully reflects this imagery, tying into the Old Testament’s anticipation of Christ’s arrival.
Jesus’ birth wasn’t just about a remarkable teacher; it was about fulfilling a purpose—to save us from sin and reconnect us with God. His sacrifice demonstrates God’s immense love for us. John 3:16 tells about this profound truth.
God chose to announce the birth of His Son to humble shepherds, demonstrating His message of inclusion and spreading joy to all. In Luke 2:8-10, we see the shepherds’ awe and the angel’s proclamation of good news for everyone.
Jesus, the Son of God, was born in humble surroundings, in a manger without any grandeur. This simple birth shows God’s love and His willingness to come to us in our lowly state. Luke 2:7 tells us about this special moment.
Mary received a visit from an angel who told her she would give birth to God’s Son, Jesus. Despite the surprise and challenge, Mary trusted in God’s plan. The angel’s message reveals the significance of Jesus’ arrival on earth: he would be called the Son of the Most High and bring greatness.
God promised from the beginning to send a Savior to restore humanity’s relationship with Him. This ancient promise, foretold by prophets like Isaiah, was fulfilled through the miraculous virgin birth of Jesus Christ, who came as Immanuel – God with us.
