One word – In the WORD
LAMB – JOHN 1:29, & 41
“The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!”
“We have found the Messiah” (which is, being interpreted, “the Christ”).
I am sure by now our children and grandchildren know the reason I give a “lamb” to all the newborns.
The “Lamb of God” is the Messiah…. and not only that the Scriptures refer to Jesus as the Shepherd and he refers to us as sheep…
John 10:11
“I am the Good Shepherd; the Good Shepherd giveth His life for the sheep.”
Our greatest desire in our lives is that all of our children and their children come to know personally the truths about the Lamb of God, the Shepherd and the sheep.
That is why as long as I am able, I will give a lamb and “The Story” of our wonderful Lord Jesus and how he gave His life on the cross for the sheep (the whole world).
I plead with the parents to read that story as early as they possibly can and continue until the truths of Jesus love is real to that child.
I also challenge others who know Christ to determine in their hearts to teach this TRUTH above going to places or giving worthless yet costly gifts that mask the truths of the Word of God.
This is a free gift but the greatest value of anything you can teach your family.
One word…. Lamb
