Where in the Bible does it say that Jesus is the Lamb of God?

Answer 1

John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

John 1:36 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!

There are references to the Lamb of God in the following verses in Revelation: Rev. 5:6, Rev. 7:17, Rev. 14:10, Rev. 15:3, Rev. 19:9, Rev. 21:22, 23, Rev. 22:1 and Rev. 22:3.

Answer 2

The phrase "lamb of God" appears only twice in scripture. Both times, it is spoken by John the Baptist.

John 1:29 - The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!"

John 1:36 - And looking at Jesus as He walked, he said, "Behold the Lamb of God!"

[NKJV]

Answer 3

Jesus was called the Lamb of God because of the Jewish religious custom of shedding the blood of an innocent lamb to cover sin.

God required the shedding of blood to forgive sin. For it says in The Bible, without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

Jesus' blood was shed on the cross to take away the sin of all mankind.

John the Baptist said of Jesus, "Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world".

The blood of bulls, goats, or lambs could only cover sin temporally, but the blood of the Lamb of God would permanently remove sin. All that is required of us is to accept His sacrifice for us. Not trusting in our own good works, but in trusting in Jesus.
