Behold the Lamb: Part 1 | Pastor Jacob Sheriff

Stories shape us. They form how we see the world and who we believe we are becoming. This message invites us to be shaped by the truest story, the story of Jesus. When John the Baptist calls Jesus "the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world," he isn't using a random metaphor; he's pulling on a long thread of Scripture that stretches from Eden to Passover to sacrifice to salvation. To understand Jesus rightly, we need the backstory: sin is not only personal guilt but an enslaving power; judgment is real because God is holy; and salvation is possible only because God Himself provides the Lamb. Jesus is not a self-help solution, He is the rescue of God, the Lamb whose blood covers, whose sacrifice frees, and whose grace invites awe.
