Text: *Colossians 2:13-15 {see Luke 7:47-48} note V.13 “FORGIVEN” {to grant as a favor pardon and rescue} ALL trespasses! Can you see yourself FORGIVEN? {see Isa. 1:18 & 43:25 That’s how God sees you through the Blood of the Lamb!}

#1 The Lamb of God PROPHESIED

*Read Genesis 3:15 & 22:8 &13 – note V.8 God will PROVIDE (raw-aw') = TO SEE 351 times KJV. Note V.13 “LOOKED” is the same Hebrew word translated “PROVIDE”!

*Read Joshua 21:45 & 23:14 & 1 Kings 8:56 – not one word of the Lord has failed!

#2 The Lamb of God PERSONIFIED

*Read Exodus 12:1-6 – note 1 Cor. 5:7 – Christ is our PASSOVER LAMB! {see Hebrews 9:11-14 & 10:14}

            *Read John 1:28-34 – note V.29 Christ lifts – takes up and away our sins! How? By being crucified:

                                #3 The Lamb of God CRUCIFIED

*Read Isaiah 53:7 & John 19:16-18 – note “CRUCIFY” = to impale on a cross, fig. to extinguish!

*Read 1 Cor. 1:22-26 & 2:1-5 – everything hinges on Christ and Him crucified and His Resurrection!
