It is not easy for our generation to grasp the expression "Lamb of God", since we do not slay animals in atonement for our sin. An expert in the sacrificial system of the Old Testament discerns the divine principle that there is no forgiveness without the shedding of blood. Strangely, God does not punish our sins by shedding our own blood, but gave His Son for that purpose.
Mtaalamu fulani wa mfumo wa utoaji wa sadaka za kuchinja wa Agano la Kale anatambua huu msemo ya kwamba hakuna ondoleo la dhambi bila umwagaji wa damu. Tunashangaa kwamba, Mungu hakutuadhibu kwa ajili ya dhambi zetu kwa kumwaga damu yetu, ila akamtoa Mwana wake kwa ajili ya kusudihili.
