Opposites - the lion and the lamb - 10th May 2026

In the first of our "opposites" series, we explore two opposite pictures of God found throughout the Bible - the roaring Lion of Judah and the sacrificial Lamb. We delve into scripture and see a God who is described as a lion - who roars in judgement, who confronts sin, who defends his people and who roars to call his people back to Him. But we also see a God who is like a lamb - who stood silently in our place, carried our sin, saved his people and draws us near. Together, these images reveal a God who is strong enough to judge yet loving enough to save — gloriously, wonderfully both.
