I greatly enjoy doing overviews, as demonstrated in We Preach Christ: The Bible Story (TOTT #82), which will soon be expanded into a small book. Tracing the wonderful theme of the Lamb of God through the biblical record is another such overview, one which demonstrates the true wonder of this picture. When we do so, we discover that there are 10 passages where the Lamb is specifically mentioned. These 10 can be presented through eight principles: the Prefiguring of the Lamb (Genesis 4:3–7a); the Provision of the Lamb (Genesis 22:6); the Punishing of the Lamb (Ex. 12:3–2); the Personage of the Lamb (Isaiah 53:5–8); the Presentation of the Lamb (John 1:29); the Promise of the Lamb (Acts 8:26–39); the Power of the Lamb (1 Peter 1:18–21); the Praising of the Lamb (Revelation 5:6–14; 21:1—22:5).
