God sent His Son Jesus Christ, to save us and to give us eternal life. In the old Testament, the Isreallites sent a goat out into the desert with the sins of the people on it to atone for their sins. This was known as the "scapegoat". (Leviticus 16:21 and 22). The lamb is also one of the symbols of atonement.
Jesus is the "Lamb of God". (John 1:29). A Human living sacrifice sent to take all our sins upon Himself. Jesus is often referred to as gentle, meek and mild. (2 Corinthians 10:1)
In Galatians we read that one of the fruits of the Spirit is gentleness. We do not need to subservient in order to attain these qualities. Rather it is by strength of character that we become gentle, meek and mild. When we live in Christ and He lives in us, His characteristics become manifest in us. Therefore let us strive today to be more like Jesus.
Let us be humble, caring, loving and giving. Forgiving others when they sin against us as we know that through our belief in Jesus Christ, God will forgive us of our sins.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I humbly come before You today and I ask that You let the light of this world, Jesus Christ, shine in me today. I pray Father that I may be more like Jesus. Humble, gentle, compassionate, loving and forgiving. Forgive my sins today, Father. I pray this in the Name of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen.
Stay truly God Blessed today.
