Welcome to the Days of Praise podcast, a daily devotional by the Institute for Creation Research. Thy precious blood. in whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins and, having made peace through the blood of His Cross, by Him to reconcile all things unto Himself, by Him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in Heaven. Colossians one, fourteen and twenty. John introduced Jesus to the world at his baptism by saying, Behold, the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
He was known prophetically as a Lamb even before then. He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shears is dumb, so he opened not his mouth. He fulfilled the lamb role in his sacrificial death for the sins of mankind, with the precious blood of Christ as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. The third verse of There is a fountain continues that picture. Dear dying Lamb, thy precious blood Shall never lose its power, Till all the ransomed Church of God Be saved to sin no more.
The precious Christology passage of Colossians 1, 13-20 identifies Christ as Creator, Redeemer, and King. As Creator, his redemptive work included the ransom of his creation, lost and shackled in sin. There will come the time when all of redeemed mankind will gather around his throne, saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain, to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing. They will be joined by all in creation to sing his praises. And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvelous are thy works, Lord God Almighty.
Just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints. Revelation 15.3. If you've enjoyed today's devotional, be sure to subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts. And please rate and review so more listeners can find us. To support ICR's ministry, visit icr.org/slash donate.
