The Divine Service | Agnus Dei: The Lamb of God Who Takes Away the Sin of the World

Pastor Jeske completes his series on the songs and poems of the Divine Service with his study on the Agnus Dei.  Turning again to the Revelation to St. John, at one point John sees a scroll in the right hand of the One who was sitting on the throne. A “strong angel” puts forth the challenge, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?”  Then, between the throne and the elders, the Lamb comes into view. Undoubtedly the most significant feature in John's description of this Lamb is that it is a lamb who appears to have been slain.
