THE LAMB, THE LION - Rev Jonathan Odega (DECEMBER 24, 2023)

The concept of Grace and Glory is best typified by the personality of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Jesus is described as the “Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world” – John 1:29b. He is also described as the “Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David.” (Revelations 5:5b NKJV) The Lamb and the Lion are very interesting mammals in many ways. But more interestingly, they represent the two ends of a pole. The one is meek, weak, gentle, and mostly used for sacrifice. The other is strong, courageous, fierce, and royal. The king of his kingdom, respected, feared, and merciless. The one is the embodiment of Grace; the other is the embodiment of Glory. This morning, we shall be considering the personality of the Lord Jesus as; 1. The Embodiment of Grace (The Lamb), and 2. The Embodiment of Glory (The Lion)
