Behold, the Lamb of God Joh 1: 29 “The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. Joh 1: 30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me. Joh 1: 31 And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water. Joh 1: 32 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. Joh 1: 33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. Joh 1: 34 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God. ”

• Jesus’ ministry began at age 30 (in around AD 24) John the Baptist introduced Him… Behold, the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. • John meant that on a future Passover the Lord Jesus would be sacrificed to pay the terrible price for the sins of all men. • This was his purpose in coming from Heaven to destroy Satan and his followers. • “Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery; But I say unto you, That whosoever LOOKETH on a woman to lust after her… hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. ” (Matthew 5: 27 -28)

Shocking Stories • Opening blind eyes • Opening Deaf ears • Healing lepers • Healing disabled people • Raised the DEAD!

Trouble Brews… Mat 23: 13 -33 • Mat 23: 27 “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. • Mat 23: 28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. • Mat 23: 29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, • Mat 23: 30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. • Mat 23: 31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets. • Mat 23: 32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. • Mat 23: 33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? ”

Scourged • Whipped with sharp bone and metal in the leather whip… • Stripped away flesh, spurting blood, muscles were sliced wide open. • Most victims died from this beating… • Mocked Him with a purple robe and a crown of thorns. • Carried 100 pound of wooden cross for 650 yards to the place of execution. • Dehydrated his body rather so quick • Isaiah 50: 6 “I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair. ” • Mar 15: 19 “And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him. ” • Isaiah 52: 14 “His visage was so marred more than any man. ” • Nailed Him to the cross, and drove rusty spikes into His wrists and feet.

Shed Blood • Jesus shed His blood so every sin ever committed could be forgiven. • Hebrews 9: 22 “Without shedding of blood, there is no remission for sins. ” • Luke 23: 34 - He spoke, “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. ” • Just before He died, He shouted, “It is finished!” • The penalty for the sins of all mankind had been paid in full! • The wages of sin is …. • DEATH!… • Rom_6: 23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. • Now anyone could be saved by putting their faith in Jesus Christ!
