This sermon emphasizes Jesus as the "Lamb of God" who takes away the sin of the world. Sin, described as missing God's perfect standard, affects everyone, but Jesus' sacrificial death offers redemption. The Old Testament's sacrificial system, with its imperfect animal offerings, pointed to Jesus' ultimate sacrifice. At the crucifixion, Jesus' blood was shed at the exact time of the evening sacrifice, symbolizing the final and complete atonement for sin. Jesus, God's only Son, embodies God's nature and offers everlasting life. He fulfilled over 300 prophecies and perfectly obeyed the Law, proving He is the only way to eternal life.
