Lamb of God

Lamb of God — the sinless sacrifice offered for the world

Thou shalt daily prepare a burnt offering unto the LORD of a lamb of the first year without blemish: thou shalt prepare it every morning. Ezekiel 46:13–15

Every morning, continually, an unblemished year-old lamb is offered to the LORD. This daily lamb pictures Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God without blemish, whose sacrifice is always available to us, fresh every morning.
