The lamb of God
Children's sermon
Object:
A toy lamb -- perhaps you have a stained glass window
with a lamb on it or the "Agnus Dei" spelled out in your
sanctuary
When John the Baptist saw Jesus one day, he said so that
everyone could hear: "Look, here is the Lamb of God!" John called
Jesus a lamb! Do you know of any reason why John the Baptist
would call Jesus a lamb? (Let them answer.)
A long time ago, the people of God tried to please God by offering their finest lamb to God. It was the best-looking, healthiest lamb of the flock. That is the lamb they would offer. They gave the lamb to God so that God would forgive them.
