The Glory of the Lamb

David preached on the first verses of Revelation 22, focusing on Jesus’s title: Lamb of God. Many rightly associate this title with Christ crucified, since it indicates weakness and vulnerability. David, however, notes that when Christ comes in power, he remains the Lamb of God:

Even after his resurrection from death, ascension to heaven, and glorious enthronement as the everlasting Lord, he still keeps his look as the Lamb slain and this is his everlasting look. This suggests that the Lamb is the most essential and substantial nature of Jesus Christ. All of his power, authority, and wisdom originate from his being the Lamb. All of his words and deeds, all of his teachings and instructions, all of his promises and prophesies are understandable only through the lens of Jesus’ being the Lamb. All of his glories shine from the truth that Jesus is the Lamb.
