The Lion of Judah and the Lamb who was slain.
Strength and humility.
Power and vulnerability.
Majesty and sacrifice.
Jesus Christ, Messiah, Redeemer, Emmanuel, is compared with both a lion and a lamb in Revelation 5:5-6.
5 Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”
6 Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing at the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders...
Thanks be to God for sending His Son as Lion and Lamb—fulfilling the prophecy and allowing for us to be united with Him through the sacrifice.
If I were to ask you to make a list of things you do, say, and act like when you are in love, it might look something like this:
• You’re happy
• You talk about him all the time
• He’s always on your mind
• You talk to him all the time
• You find out what makes him happy
• You spend time with him
• You show him off to your friends
• You quote him
• You make him a priority in your life
• You make plans for your future together
• People think you’re crazy
• You would do anything for him
• You start to act/think like him (Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery)
Does the same list apply if we are in love with Jesus?
