Muggeridge: the Lamb

Tuesday, September 23, 2014
Meditation:
    The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!”
    —John 1:29 (NIV)
Quotation:
    The cross for the first time revealed God in terms of weakness and lowliness and suffering; even, humanly speaking, of absurdity. He was seen thenceforth in the image of the most timid, most gentle and most vulnerable of all living creatures—a lamb. Agnus Dei! [The Lamb of God!]

Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, You have taken our weakness on Yourself. CQOD    Blog    email    RSS
