Join us on this podcast as we talk about "Serving the Servant." This is part of our series on "The Cross."

The life of Christ is the greatest life this world has even known. A willing King died as a humble servant. He not only chose to die, but He was also chosen and given to die (John 3.16); just as the Passover lamb was chosen to be offered by the children of Israel. (Exodus 12.5) God chose His only Lamb (1 Peter 1.19; John 1.29) to be offered as the only sacrifice for sin. (Hebrews 9.26, 28) It was that Lamb who would provide the ever-continuing blood that would wash away the sins of the faithful. (1 John 1.7)

That Lamb would become the gift to the world from a loving Father. The Father would provide the offering just as He did for Abraham, but still different. Isaac was an imperfect man (Romans 3.23), Jesus was perfect. (Hebrews 4.15) Isaac was the son of Abraham (Genesis 21.1-3); Jesus was the Son of God. (John 3.16)
