As we approach God's holy days, we must keep our focus on Jesus Christ, the perfect Lamb of God, who is the central point of our attention. Without Him as our concentrated focal point, we risk merely taking time off and falling into the traps of satan. Living the way Christ lives means doing our absolute best to avoid the subtle lies and temptations of satan, handling them as the Lamb of God did. The powerful work of the Word of God, who became Jesus Christ, the perfect Lamb of God, stands as the pivot point of God's holy days, looking both backward and forward to what lies ahead. John shouted for all to hear, "Behold the Lamb of God," identifying Him as the Son of God, the only one who could overcome the lies of satan and guarantee the circumcision of the heart. We, like Christ, have a duty and responsibility to overcome the devil and uphold the Word of God, standing behind the shield of faith in Jesus Christ as we learn to live as He lives.

In the book of Revelation, Jesus Christ is predominantly referred to as the Lamb, a title used in twenty-eight instances, far surpassing other designations. Amidst visions of beasts, plagues, destruction, and death, where He is unveiled as King of kings against the resistance of men and demons, He is resoundingly called the Lamb. This title stands in stark contrast to the expected imagery of thunderous judgment, as lambs are typically associated with passive, uncomplaining submission, even in suffering, as seen during His first coming when He was led as a sheep to the slaughter, silent before His shearers. The use of the Lamb in Revelation differs strikingly from the Lamb of the Gospels, particularly when considering the wrath of the Lamb amidst trumpet plagues and bowls of God's wrath, prompting curiosity about this shift in portrayal. Beyond the common association with sin offerings, lambs in Scripture, including in Revelation, carry broader significance, such as in the redemption of the firstborn as detailed in Exodus. Here, lambs symbolize the exchange of one life for another due to a prior claim by God, not merely atonement, but ownership and redemption from bondage. This concept of redemption ties directly to the portrayal of Jesus as the Lamb in Revelation, emphasizing a claim and liberation rather than just a sacrificial offering for sin. Just as God redeemed Israel, His firstborn, from Pharaoh using a lamb, the title of Lamb for Jesus Christ underscores a profound act of buying back and rescuing, aligning with the apocalyptic themes of ultimate deliverance and authority over all opposition.

Jesus Christ is frequently referred to as the Lamb in the book of Revelation, a title that underscores His role in redemption rather than atonement. This Lamb, worthy to take the scroll and open its seals, is depicted as the title deed holder of all creation, signifying His ownership and authority over everything. Unlike a typical lamb, He possesses seven horns, symbolizing perfect strength and power, and seven eyes, linked to the removal of iniquity and the restoration of true worship, pointing to future redemption. In Revelation, the Lamb's blood has redeemed individuals, forming them into a kingdom of priests, and He begins opening the seals to reclaim what belongs to Him. His scope as Creator, Heir, and Owner extends beyond Israel or the church to encompass all things. Despite opposition, His ultimate success is proclaimed as the kingdoms of this world become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever. The Lamb's wrath, revealed in the Sixth Seal, shows His zeal for what He possesses, leading to tremendous destruction when necessary to realign His creation with His government. Further visions in Revelation depict the Lamb standing on Mount Zion with 144,000 redeemed from the earth, and those victorious over the beast singing the song of Moses and the song of the Lamb, both celebrating God's redemptive power. In the final chapters, the Lamb and His Bride reflect a story of redemption, with Jesus Christ, the firstborn from the dead, poised to redeem the church, Israel, Jerusalem, the Land of Promise, and all who have not rejected Him. As the Firstborn over all creation, all things fall within His legal claim, and the whole creation, along with His people, awaits the final redemption through His powerful work.
