| Sheila Walsh: The Perfect Lamb of God | 5 Minutes With Jesus | May 29, 2026
  • Jesus
  • 00:00:01.313 --> 00:00:02.448
  • Is on every page of god's word.
  • 00:00:02.448 --> 00:00:05.784
  • He fulfilled every requirement of the law,
  • 00:00:05.784 --> 00:00:08.854
  • And he sets us free.
  • 00:00:09.288 --> 00:00:11.723
  • You don't have to bring a spotless lamb anymore
  • 00:00:11.723 --> 00:00:15.294
  • Because we come in the name of jesus who is spotless.
  • 00:00:15.294 --> 00:00:19.531
  • Lamb of god.
  • 00:00:19.531 --> 00:00:24.736
  • I was talking to a teenage girl at the end of a conference
  • 00:00:25.904 --> 00:00:28.640
  • I've been speaking at.
  • 00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:29.842
  • And she told me that she never reads the old testament.
  • 00:00:29.842 --> 00:00:32.544
  • She said, i'm waiting for jesus to show up in the new home.
  • 00:00:32.544 --> 00:00:36.615
  • I laughed and i told her that jesus is on
  • 00:00:36.615 --> 00:00:39.818
  • Every page from genesis to revelation,
  • 00:00:39.818 --> 00:00:43.455
  • From the first bloodshed in the garden
  • 00:00:43.455 --> 00:00:45.491
  • Of eden to cover adam and eve with animal skins.
  • 00:00:45.491 --> 00:00:48.527
  • There is a glorious scarlet thread to
  • 00:00:48.527 --> 00:00:51.697
  • Every single page of god's word.
  • 00:00:51.697 --> 00:00:55.667
  • Have you ever wondered why jesus asked john to baptize him?
  • 00:00:55.667 --> 00:01:00.339
  • Surely of all people who lived.
  • 00:01:01.006 --> 00:01:03.142
  • Jesus was the only one who never needed to be baptized,
  • 00:01:03.142 --> 00:01:07.012
  • As he was the perfect, sinless lamb of god.
  • 00:01:07.012 --> 00:01:10.883
  • But when you read through the whole of god's word, you see
  • 00:01:10.883 --> 00:01:14.653
  • Jesus fulfilling every prophecy, every promise ever made.
  • 00:01:14.653 --> 00:01:19.558
  • If you go back to the book of leviticus, in the old testament,
  • 00:01:19.558 --> 00:01:22.761
  • Laws were laid out
  • 00:01:22.761 --> 00:01:24.263
  • As to how the people could approach god to sacrifice.
  • 00:01:24.263 --> 00:01:28.400
  • They had to select a spotless lamb
  • 00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:30.969
  • And publicly present the priest who would examine it
  • 00:01:30.969 --> 00:01:34.773
  • And declare it was worthy to be sacrificed.
  • 00:01:34.773 --> 00:01:37.242
  • Then god would accept the sacrifice.
  • 00:01:37.242 --> 00:01:40.312
  • So let's head over to the new testament,
  • 00:01:40.312 --> 00:01:43.081
  • Where jesus asked john to baptize him.
  • 00:01:43.081 --> 00:01:45.951
  • In matthew chapter three we read this.
  • 00:01:45.951 --> 00:02:25.724
  • We must carry out all that god requires.
  • 00:02:26.592 --> 00:02:30.028
  • So what was jesus saying?
  • 00:02:30.596 --> 00:02:32.831
  • Think about this.
  • 00:02:32.831 --> 00:02:33.865
  • Things had to be done from the old testament.
  • 00:02:33.865 --> 00:02:35.634
  • So in public in the jordan river, john announces,
  • 00:02:35.634 --> 00:02:39.638
  • Behold the lamb of god who takes away the sin of the world.
  • 00:02:39.638 --> 00:02:43.342
  • You might also remember who john's father was.
  • 00:02:44.309 --> 00:02:47.045
  • He was zechariah.
  • 00:02:47.045 --> 00:02:48.614
  • He was a priest from the line of aaron.
  • 00:02:48.614 --> 00:02:51.416
  • So this humble man from god's line of priests
  • 00:02:51.416 --> 00:02:54.953
  • Lowered christ into the water.
  • 00:02:54.953 --> 00:02:57.089
  • And then from heaven came that glorious declaration
  • 00:02:57.089 --> 00:03:00.892
  • From the only one who could accept the sacrifice.
  • 00:03:00.892 --> 00:03:04.663
  • Mark records that in this way, in his gospel,
  • 00:03:04.663 --> 00:03:23.015
  • Jesus is on every page of god's word.
  • 00:03:23.849 --> 00:03:28.320
  • He fulfilled every requirement of the law,
  • 00:03:28.320 --> 00:03:31.390
  • And he sets us free.
  • 00:03:31.823 --> 00:03:34.259
  • You don't have to bring a spotless lamb anymore
  • 00:03:34.259 --> 00:03:37.829
  • Because we come in the name of jesus who is spotless.
  • 00:03:37.829 --> 00:03:42.067
  • Lamb of god. let's pray.
  • 00:03:42.067 --> 00:03:46.638
  • Lord jesus.
  • 00:03:46.972 --> 00:03:49.041
  • The fact that you were willing,
  • 00:03:49.041 --> 00:03:50.876
  • As the only man who never sinned,
  • 00:03:50.876 --> 00:03:54.413
  • To take all of our sin on yourself as a spotless lamb
  • 00:03:54.413 --> 00:03:58.650
  • Of god is more than
  • 00:03:58.650 --> 00:04:00.319
  • We can even begin to understand in our human hearts and minds.
  • 00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:04.222
  • But you did it out of love for us.
  • 00:04:04.222 --> 00:04:07.359
  • Thank you for your obedience to the father.
  • 00:04:07.359 --> 00:04:10.429
  • What i pray that that would become something
  • 00:04:11.330 --> 00:04:14.232
  • So real in each one of us.
  • 00:04:14.232 --> 00:04:17.302
  • That obedience
  • 00:04:17.302 --> 00:04:18.637
  • Would become more important than always understanding.
  • 00:04:18.637 --> 00:04:21.873
  • If you've revealed something to us in your word,
  • 00:04:21.873 --> 00:04:25.310
  • Help us to have a heart that gladly obeys.
  • 00:04:25.310 --> 00:04:28.880
  • Because that's the path that you chose,
  • 00:04:28.880 --> 00:04:31.483
  • And that's the path you left for us in jesus name.
  • 00:04:31.483 --> 00:04:35.954
  • Amen.
  • 00:04:36.188 --> 00:04:36.188
