1. “To Be Called a Lamb of God”
Christ came as a Lamb to be sacrificed, and yet He lives and reigns forever as King. He calls upon His sheep to give themselves sacrificially as well.
“For Your sake we are killed all day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” (Romans 8:36)

2. Jesus came as a different kind of King
As a result, He was rejected and crucified (Mark 15:12-13; Luke 23:35-38)
Yet He reigns in His kingdom, the church (Colossians 1:18; Luke 17:20-21)

3. The King Came as a Lamb
He was identified as the Lamb of God (John 1:29)
He was destined to be slain (Revelation 13:8; Acts 8:32-35)
He redeemed us as a Lamb (1 Peter 1:18-19)
Yet the Lamb lives and reigns (Revelation 5:6, 12; 7:17)

4. Becoming a Lamb of God
For the Lord’s sake, we are slain as sheep (Romans 8:36)
This is the consequence of believing, obeying, and sharing God’s word (Revelation 6:4, 9)
The Lamb invites us to follow Him in giving our lives as a sacrifice (Luke 9:23-24; Romans 12:1)
Paul’s life typifies what it means to become a lamb of God (1 Cor. 15:31; Gal. 2:20)
