I don’t know if it’s childlike faith, the familiarity of the story, or just exhaustion at the end of the year, but at Advent I tend to stop asking questions. The story of Jesus’s conception and birth has become as normal to me as my own Christmas traditions. I don’t really think much about the details because…I know this one.
In the New Testament, John identified Jesus as “the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29). Why is it that calling Jesus “the Lamb of God” can feel so normal?
At Advent, words and phrases like garland, virgin birth, Christmas trees, conceived by the Spirit, cinnamon rolls, and the Lamb of God all seem to fit seamlessly into the same paragraphs with ease. Some of these things really are not like the others, but don’t they feel that way at this time of year?
“The Lamb of God” has become just another one of Jesus’s names to me. It’s all too easy to say, “that’s just who He is!” without asking many questions, especially at Advent.
It’s tempting to think that reading about Jesus as our Passover Lamb matters more for our Easter reflections than our Advent ones. And in the chaos of December, it feels easier to push my theological reflections to the Lenten season when I have new-year energy. But this Advent, I’m going to take advantage of the perspective this season brings. We can look backward through the story, from end to beginning. And then we can marvel in belief that Jesus would still come, knowing all He would endure as the one and only Lamb of God.
Prophet, priest, and king. Those are some of the main roles we tend to think of Jesus coming to fulfill at Advent. It’s not hard to imagine someone wanting to come as king. I can even conceive of someone wanting to come as a prophet or a priest. But to imagine someone coming as a sacrificial lamb? Who chooses to come for that? Jesus.
And as we reflect on the passover event in Exodus, we’re reminded of where the language originated. But the lambs in the passover didn’t sign up for it. A birth and death not in their will or power. But Jesus, our Passover Lamb, wasn’t surprised by humanity’s need when He put on flesh and came to earth. This was the plan all along. Who comes for that? Jesus.
In the past, when I’ve thought about Jesus as the Lamb of God, I’ve been caught up in what it means for me. But this year, through the lens of Advent, I’m seeing instead what it shows me about the heart of Jesus.
“Like a lamb led to the slaughter,” He still came (Isaiah 53:7).

So thankful that even though He knew what was coming He still came. I know He prayed and asked God if there was any other way the night prior to his crucifixion. That shows His true humanity side, but He knew what had to be done and still faced them outside of the garden.

Jesus is our protector and refuge. Nothing may harm us as long as he remains our Passover lamb ❤️
❤️
Mary had a little lamb ♥️
“He was born to die” – just heard Shane and Shane sing this tonight.
“He still came”… that is a powerful and humbling thought. Thank you for this…
I just went and listened to “Behold The Lamb of God” by Andrew Peterson. The song, and album by the same name, are a wonderful supplement to my Advent.
May I better know the heart of my Savior this season!
I’ve never heard Jesus describe as that I’m of God during the advent season. It’s so beautiful thank you for bringing this concept into my quiet time.
❤️
We are loved and cherished by a humble, graceful, servant-hearted and forgiving King. May we choose to live our lives in such a way that shows others that truth.
<3
Really enjoyed the reading and devotion ❤️
What a beautiful reminder that Jesus knew everything he would endure and he still came. He lived and experienced all we have to save us and restore our relationship with God. May this time of year my words and actions reflect that.
Thank you, Yeshua, for loving us through our flaws and sins. Your love endures! Our true King!
Amen
i’m reminded of lyrics from a Phil Wickham song: “like a lamb to the slaughter didn’t make a sound.” He was led to the slaughter for us and never complained. Oh how He loves us!!
What a beautiful perspective shift – to see not only what Christ’s identity as the Lamb of God means for me, but what it shows me about Jesus. He chose to come, knowing my sin, failures, brokenness, and yet He still came to lay down His life. What incredible love!
Beautifully said! Thank you!
Like a lamb led to slaughter, He still came
Wow. Thank you for reflecting on this. As a baby, as a man. He came to save and redeem. Knowing the ending He still smiled throughout the beginnings. Thank you Jesus, for being our lamb that we can place over our door and the angel of death has passed over. You are everything tonis.
❤️
He has been so faithful to us!
He came once. He’s coming twice………. Let’s make sure that our lamps are full of oil.
Yes!!
Oh, I love today’s devotional. He didn’t just come as prophet, priest, or king, He actively chose to come as the Lamb who would willingly lay down His life. The Passover lambs had no choice, but Jesus came knowing exactly what it would cost. Today’s reading’s reminds me that His sacrifice wasn’t an accident or a reaction, but a deep act of love planned from the beginning.❤️
I mentioned that I am revisiting “The Chosen”. I just watched “Thunder” from Season 2. The beginning of John means so much, and I could recall the memory verse as John was speaking it.
.
This morning my living room clock was TWENTY MINUTES SLOW… I am glad I got the readings done. I am just now going back to comments. Hope your day was blessed, my sisters.
This devotional reminded me just how loved we all are❤️ it also makes me want to share his love with those around me especially during this holiday season.
Wonderful devotional! Yes, we do tend to take Lamb of God for granted without really really absorbing the magnitude of the sacrifice necessitated by our sin.
This devotional reminded my why Jesus chose the pain of the cross. “Because of the joy that was set before him.” It’s a really amazing thing to consider in contrast to a world that goes to great lengths to avoid any kind of discomfort or inconvenience. It was worth it to put on flesh and endure the effects of a fallen world and death itself to gather God’s children to himself.
Yes, great way to say it!
thank you Jesus for your sacrifice! <3
Wow. The Lamb of God takes on a whole new meaning for me. I always heard the phrase & just accepted it without understanding it. Once again, thank you for sharing your work with us!!
Thank you for the thoughtfulness and thought provoking study. The reflection on the sacrifice of Jesus and its impact and not on just his birth is much needed in this time of pretty and perfection we can fall into!
The study of Revelation, and the grief of such a hard year has me really connecting Jesus coming as a baby and Jesus coming again as KING. For years God’s people lived with a promise but not yet the fulfillment. They longed for a Messiah who would save them, a Light in a dark and difficult world. They wondered, How Long, Lord. Then in the quiet of Bethlehem, Jesus CAME! The fulfillment of centuries of longing. Aren’t we in the same position? We have the promise of Jesus returning as the King of Kings, a restored world with no pain, no death, no tears. Peace that never ends! Life with God, face to face! And like Old Testament believers we often pray, How long, O Lord? Just as God’s people were waiting in hope for Christ’s first coming, we’re now waiting in hope for his second. HOPE! So thankful. This advent I have a broken heart, I am carrying pain I never knew, and I am carrying HOPE like I never have before. The one who came is the One who will come again. Advent is just hitting me so differently I am so thankful for the growth and the nearness of Jesus that comes from absolute brokenness. So thankful that the Light has come, that the Light is coming again.
Kristy, may God heal your broken heart. I understand the broken. One year ago today I lost my oldest brother. Three months ago I lost another brother. I am the only one left in my original family. I feel it everyday, but thank God for the hope we have!!❤️
Kristy, so sorry for the pain you are experiencing but rejoice in the HOPE you have found. I have taken great comfort in my continuing family pain from the verses in Exodus concerning the pain the Israelites were going through. It comforts me that in my circumstances (that I would have never chosen or expected) that God heard, remembered, saw, knew and had a plan.
Exodus 2:23-25; 3:7-8
I have to remind myself continually that my hope is in God, not an outcome.
Love your last line: “ So thankful that the Light has come, that the Light is coming again.” Amen, sister!

*Christmas*- ☺ I copied and pasted that and didn’t notice the lower cap on ‘Christmas’ in time!
Yes Mari V! The Advent Study book (& Revelation book too) have been excellent thought provoking guides to me this year.
Thank you Jesus for choosing to come and die for us . this wrecked me today. What a true gift this is .
Cee Gee. I too was struck by the reference to leaven. It is truth to say that “malice” and “evil” are actions grow and expand in terrible and destructive ways. “Truth” and “Sincerity” bring about restoration and peace and assurance.
I’m reading through Revelation again alongside this Advent plan. Today I read chapters 4 & 5 with Chap 5 being about the worship of the slain Lamb.
“…. For you were killed, and your blood has ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation.” Rev 5:9 NLT
Jesus chose to come down to us, fully knowing what would happen and why. (WOW though- the why!)
Thank you Lamb of God, heavenly King and redeemer of your sinful, broken people. May we remember the cost while we wait for your coming again.
And He will come again!
❤️
Kimn, yes, the COST! a great reminder, let us all count the cost of our personal redemption
Thank you Jesus for the blood applied. Thank you Jesus it has washed me white.
“Reply” is not my friend today…

WENDY B… Easter is my favorite holiday. I know many people that love Christmas best. And while Easter is sad, and Christmas is “happy”, I still love Easter more. (And others have told me that they love Christmas b/c if we don’t have Christmas, we can’t have Easter… I get that, but…)
This tune will be in my head all day…The Lamb by Gerald Coleman. It is not an Advent hymn. It is listed under “redeemer” in a hymnal I have. The tune is a bit melancholy, but the words are fabulous!
.
Stanza 1
The Lamb, the Lamb,
O Father, where’s the sacrifice?
Faith sees, believes
God will provide the Lamb of price!
Worthy is the Lamb Whose death makes me His own!
The Lamb is reigning on His throne!
Stanza 2
The Lamb, the Lamb,
One perfect final offering.
The Lamb, the Lamb,
Let earth join heav’n His praise to sing.
Worthy is the Lamb Whose death makes me His own!
The Lamb is reigning on His throne!
Stanza 3
The Lamb, the Lamb,
As wayward sheep their shepherd kill
So still, His will
On our behalf the Law to fill.
Worthy is the Lamb Whose death makes me His own!
The Lamb is reigning on His throne!
Stanza 4
He sighs, he dies,
He takes my sin and wretchedness.
He lives, forgives,
He gives me His own righteousness.
Worthy is the Lamb Whose death makes me His own!
The Lamb is reigning on His throne!
Stanza 5
He rose, He rose,
My heart with thanks now overflows.
His song prolong
Till ev’ry heart to Him belong.
Worthy is the Lamb Whose death makes me His own!
The Lamb is reigning on His throne!
Today is a sobering and yet so important read. As the devotional and others of you shared, it so easy to make Christmas so pretty, neat and tidy, full of good news of great joy. But, we can’t forget what Jesus did for us. His birth was just the beginning but all along there was a plan – that He would be the light in this dark world, our hope, our Savior, the Lamb of God. And, he knew…. “God saw the Israelites, and God knew.” (Exo 2:25). All along, He knew and He still loved me, us enough to sacrifice as He did. I must not ever gloss over the weight, the depth and the reality of this.
This from HRT stood out to me.
“Let us be a people who take the reality of our Lord’s sacrifice to heart and always remember what he endured to set us free. Let us condemn “the destroyer” together, and let’s get excited about seeing, recognizing, and heralding the Lamb of God, Jesus Himself.”
Heavrnly Father, precious Lord, we come to you unworthy of your love, so easily caught up in our selves that we forget the fullness of that love. Forgive me Lord for the ways I take for granted all you have done for me. Thank you Lord for the gift of your son Jesus and a sacrifice of love far greater than I understand or deserve. Thank you that you came and all you have done and for a gift beyond our understanding. Amen
Charity Gayle’s song Thank you for the Blood comes to mind today.
My reply is still hit and missed this morning – the past week or so, I can reply on only one post but then not another until perhaps later in the day or not all? Also, my format has all changed and the font is really small on all things SRT but when I pop over to HRT it is the same as it was before. Odd. Hopefully the SRT tech team can figure it out. :)
Thanks for the reflections and insight. Appreciate the thoughts and praying for your requests.❤️
My reply option seems to be normal now.
Same here on the font! I have been meaning to mention it to SRT team because HRT posts are so much easier on my eyes, but I thought maybe it was my device.
Thank you Jesus
Like Rhonda, I’m reminded of Charity Gayle’s song, thank you Jesus for The Blood.”
So thankful that Jesus stepped down from Heaven to redeem us! He came to die….and rise again and is victorious!
Praying for all!
Good morning sweet She’s. THIS, Advent bible study, I’m being more intentional using the Advent Study book, reading the scriptures and reflecting and filling out the questions helping me to dive full on to this Advent season. I’m here I just might not elaborate as I run out time before heading to work. I love you all SO much. I loving this study SO much! On my 10 min break I will read your comments.
A good song for today, which we actually sang at church last week (who would think that would be in the Christmas song lineup?!) “Thank for the Blood” by Charity Gayle!
Love that song! We sing it at church too, and I mentioned it on Day 3! ☺❤☺
“Leaven is a picture of sin. It is small but powerful; it works secretly; it “puffs up” the dough; it spreads.” –
Warren Wiersbe on 1 Corinthians 5:7-8.
✨
When our boys were little they loved a book titled Bembelman’s Bakery. The story revolved around a batvh of bread than slilled out into the streets of the town. When I read these verses depucting leaven as sin, the puctures from that book comevto mund.
Father, help us to alliw you to cleanse our hearts, purge the sin from our lives.

Golly.. I had a few typos today! ☺
✨
Also, need to say that I am so thankful He is my all in all- Jesus,Lamb of God, thank You! Another thing I meant to note- traditiinally the elders chose the sacrificial lamb. In our case, the sacrificial Lamb chose us! That stood out to me today.
The lamb chose us!
Wow and amen!!
❤
I love this song. Thank you for bringing it back to mind. One of those days typos can happen.
❤
Overcome with emotion this morning at the gift of His blood ❤️
“like a lamb led to the slaughter” HE STILL CAME!
FOR US!
thank you Jesus. God is so good.
Amen y’all. He still came.
Amen! The amazing wonder that Christ would choose to come as the sacrificial lamb so that His blood would be applied, the work was no longer dependent on our actions but on His and thus salvation, the free gift was extended to all peoples! oh, the breath, the length, the height and the depth of the love of Christ! (Eph 3:18)
amen amen
This is a reading you would expect for Lent season, but it is so good and fitting for the week of HOPE for Advent. We wouldn’t have the hope of Jesus if we didn’t include the Passover (for the whole of the Isaraelite”s escape from oppression and slavery) the plan from the beginning to save ALL people. I love how the author put it, that the “story” is as comfortable to us Christians as Christmas cookies and presents. BUT as we celebrate the birth of Jesus, let us remember that he came as the Lamb going to slaughter. His ministry was just over a short 3 years, to then die a horrible slow death. It doesn’t quite make sense to us, this kinda love. But may we remember this Christmas, this week of Hope, that we can always know in our wait, pain, grief, loss, depression, illness,anxiety, diagnosis, isolation–whatever our heartache and yearning, is already covered by our Savior. He died for each of us, BUT HE ROSE in VICTORY!! Let’s not ever minimize the beautiful, AMAZING, unfathomable gift that came at Christmas for us!!
By HRT-
With Jesus, we have a sacrifice so significant, blood so precious and powerful, that nothing further is required to quench the wrath of God. As the hymn goes, “Jesus paid it all,” and no more blood need be spilled for our debt to be washed away forever.
Let us be a people who take the reality of our Lord’s sacrifice to heart and always remember what he endured to set us free.
Thank you for the hope, so my heart won’t be troubled- Your peace surpasses all understanding! We don’t know how, but through our tough circumstance surrounding us, we have unshakable peace. Let the peace be there this holiday season as we always keep our eyes on him!
Beautifully spoken, Rhonda! ❤
Such a wonderful reminder! Thank You Jesus for coming to be the Lamb to die for my sins!
This song stuck out to me this morning:
Worthy is the Lamb
Thank You for the cross, Lord;
Thank You for the price You paid;
Bearing all my sin and shame,
In love You came,
And gave amazing grace.
Thank You for this love, Lord;
Thank You for the nail-pierced hands;
Washed me in Your cleansing flow,
Now all I know
Your forgiveness and embrace.
Worthy is the Lamb, seated on the throne;
Crown You now with many crowns,
You reign victorious.
High and lifted up, Jesus Son of God,
The Darling of Heaven crucified;
Worthy is the Lamb, Worthy is the Lamb.
❤
❤️
“God saw the Israelites, and God knew.” (Exodus 2:25)
That verse really stuck out to me this morning. God knew. Some other versions don’t say it like that. Those words in the CSB version are just powerful.
He knew what they were going through. He knew what he had to do. He knew that I would need The Lamb’s sacrifice.
I was just thinking about it yesterday. With Jesus being fully God and fully man- do you think he knew even as a child what he was going to have to do for us?
My prayer today-
Gracious Heavenly Father, Thank you that you knew that we would need a sacrifice. Thank you that you were willing to give that sacrifice and that your Son was willing to die for us. Lord, I pray that I would go through this advent, remembering and realizing and sharing what has been done for me so that I/we can live forever with you in your kingdom.
In Your Holy and Precious Name, Amen.
Amen. ❤️
He is my help and my deliverer. He is the lamb of God. He came down because of His love for us. For me. Thank you, Jesus.
“Who chooses to come for that? Jesus!” I love that.
“There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” John 15:13 NLT
Birth and death so closely tied together with purpose.
Thank you for coming and sacrificing so those who believe may be saved.
Love this reminder of this title that shows my Savior’s heart. I’ve almost become numb to expression “Lamb of God” because of how much I’ve heard it.
Oh! The love of God!
Wow this was good. TYJ!!!
Amen!
Jesus still came. ❤️
Yes, amazing isn’t it?!?!
Amen!
Sharing this from He Reads Truth: “Lord, may I never trivialize the shedding of your blood.” Let us be a people who take the reality of our Lord’s sacrifice to heart and always remember what he endured to set us free. Let us condemn “the destroyer” together, and let’s get excited about seeing, recognizing, and heralding the Lamb of God, Jesus Himself.
Oh I love this. Thank you for sharing. writing that down!
I just read that and was going to share as well…so powerful!
Maria, that stood out to me also from the HRT commentary. Praying that I will remember how Jesus willingly came to die for us.
Amen, He is always going to come and save us ❤️ thank you, Jesus.
Jesus willingly laid down his life.
His heart was always after us. Thank you Jesus.
Like TINA, I don’t know what happened with her post … praying for tech team!
.
BG verse today, John 8:12
Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”
.
HRT – “I tend to compartmentalize His suffering because I want the reassurance of the salvation narrative without the horror of His agonizing death.”
.
Devo – “at Advent I tend to stop asking questions…. I don’t really think much about the details because…I know this one.”
.
With the commercialization of Christmas and the shift by many to Happy Holidays, the truth of why we celebrate the fulfillment of prophecy in the birth of Jesus gets trampled by distractions of finding the right gifts and dressing for one more party. Even sharing the gospel in this season reflects the shininess of God’s love for us and the gift of salvation without connecting the sacrifice and bloodshed that made it possible. “Jesus died for us” is more palatable than explaining Jesus was innocent, arrested, mocked, then willingly beaten and forcefully, blow by blow, nailed to the cross. Willingly, to shed His blood for our sins and present the gift of salvation so that we each have the choice to accept it.
.
A solemn reflection for this morning, and renewed thankfulness for Jesus.
.
MERCY – good words on waiting and patience, being prepared/shaped by God. “a weak heart will be a great landing pad for satan to steer anyone astray” – keep the faith, sisters. Praying, Mercy, for speedy furnace resolution as you try to keep your family warm and your husband successfully completes his papers. Praying for warmth and safety with the small heaters.
SHARON JERSEY GIRL – ❤️your story of waiting for God’s plan ❤️ His plan is always better! Praying as you wait for guidance … God already knows His plan.
PAIGE BURWELL – joining my sisters in thanking you and your family for your service
COLLEEN DEVEAU – good to see you!
KRISTI M – praying for wisdom in the waiting with this job opportunity
Solemn, yes, but TRUTH! His physical life in our world began in humility in a manger; His physical life in our world ended in humility on the cross. As you stated so well- worthy of reflection and thanks! ❤
Amen❤️
Thank You for the Passover Lamb,
first in Egypt, and ultimately in Jesus.
.
Thank You that salvation comes through the blood of the innocent One,
given for the guilty, given for me.
Help me to rest in the truth
that Christ, my Passover Lamb, has been sacrificed.
His blood covers me.
His love frees me.
His life makes me new.
Amen. Worthy is the Lamb.
In response to Tina’s questions, “Didn’t He know…”
Exodus 2:25 “God saw the Israelites, and God knew.”
.
And He sees and knows us. So Jesus came, was slaughtered at twilight, and covers those who come under the cross with His blood.
.
Lord, thank You for Your mercy.
When I read Exodus 2:25 “He knew”… that confused me a little. Of course He knew, He’s God! :) You and Tina got the big picture where I was stuck on the “little picture” of the there and then. I checked Enduring Word commentary, and I don’t know what translation they were using, but the words were “God acknowledged them” which made more sense to me. :)
main roles we tend to think of Jesus coming to fulfill at Advent. It’s not hard to imagine someone wanting to come as king. I can even conceive of someone wanting to come as a prophet or a priest. But to imagine someone coming as a sacrificial lamb? Who chooses to come for that? Jesus.
And as we reflect on the passover event in Exodus, we’re reminded of where the language originated. But the lambs in the passover didn’t sign up for it. A birth and death not in their will or power.

Song of the day? “Just As I Am Without One Plea”
God the Father looks upon Jesus the Son’s blood when He looks at me. Therefore, I do not have to fear death or remain stuck or defined by my sin; Jesus took the punishment that my sin deserves so that God’s righteous wrath would pass over me. He took this punishment in my place! I really don’t deserve this. Father, thank you for our Lord Jesus. I am so in need of your mercy and grace and you have lavished it upon me through Him. Help me to surrender all to you. Thank you Jesus for being our Passover lamb. Amen.
I remember a friend of mine saying that you can capture the Old Testament and the New Testament in 9 words – ‘where is the Lamb?’ (O.T.) ‘behold , the Lamb of God!’ (N.T.). The reading today made me think of this again – maybe it will encourage someone here too.
I love this! Thanks for sharing.
amen ❤️
