About this sermon
Why does the Bible call Jesus “the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world” 🐑🌍 when lambs in the Old Testament were never used that way? In this video, J. Warner Wallace—a former cold-case detective turned Christian apologist—investigates the sacrificial patterns of the Old and New Testaments to show why this “Lamb” language only makes sense if Jesus is God. 🔍 In this episode you’ll discover: • How lambs, goats, and bulls were used differently in the Torah’s sacrificial system 📜 • Why lambs were normally limited to individual or household offerings—not entire nations, and certainly not the whole world • The unique role of the Passover lamb as one lamb for a household and why God designed it that way 🩸 • How passages like John 1:29, Hebrews 10, 1 Peter 1, 2 Corinthians 5, Philippians 2, and Revelation 5 fit together as a cumulative case for the deity of Christ 📖 • Why finite animal sacrifices can’t cover infinite guilt, and why only a divine person could truly be “the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world” Using a forensic, evidence-based approach, J. Warner argues that the apparent break between the Old Testament lamb pattern and Jesus’ sacrifice is actually a trail of evidence pointing to who Jesus really is: the eternal Son of God, the God-man, whose once-for-all sacrifice is sufficient for all people, for all time. ✝️ 📚 Get the book “Cold-Case Christianity” by J.
