‘Look, The Lamb Of God, Who Takes Away The Sin Of The World.’

Ezekiel 46:1-24
We read here about the ‘offering’ of ‘a lamb without defect’. This was to happen ‘morning by morning’(13). From these offerings , we look on to another Offering, ‘a single Offering’, the ‘once for all’ Offering of Jesus Christ as ‘the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world’. Jesus Christ - the Lamb of God - has ‘offered for all time a single Sacrifice for sins’(John 1:29; Hebrews 10:10,12,14). As we read about the many lambs, we hear God’s voice calling out to us, directing our attention to our Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: ‘Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world’(John 1:36). ‘Christ’ is ‘our Passover Lamb’. He ‘has been sacrificed’ for us. Through His ‘precious blood’, we are ‘redeemed’(1 Corinthians 5:7; 1 Peter 1:18-19).

‘Christ Died For Sins Once For All, The Righteous For The Unrighteous, To Bring Us To God.’

Ezekiel 45:1-25
We read here of ‘the sin offerings, cereal offerings, burnt offerings, and peace offerings, to make atonement for the house of Israel’(17). All of this points forward to the single Sacrifice for sin made by our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ: ‘Christ died for sins once for all, the Righteous for the unrighteous, to bring us to God’(1 Peter 3:18). ‘We have been forgiven and made clean through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all’(Hebrews 10:10). This is what we must see here. We must learn to look beyond the many sacrifices to the one Sacrifice: ‘Christ has offered one Sacrifice for sins, an offering that is effective for ever’. Let us rejoice in our Saviour: ‘He is able for all time to save those who draw near to God through Him’(Hebrews 10:12; 7:25).
