As we continue in our short series on the life of Abraham we come to his final test from God on Mount Moriah, where Abraham declared, *"God shall provide Himself a lamb for a burnt offering."*

That promise echoes through the centuries until John the Baptist points to Jesus and announces, **"Behold the Lamb of God."**

John's Gospel uniquely presents Christ as God's perfect Lamb.

From His public identification in John 1 to Pilate's testimony, *"I find no fault in Him,"* every chapter invites us to examine the One who alone could bear the judgment of sin. Unlike Isaac, who did not know what lay before him, the Lord Jesus walked every step toward Calvary with full knowledge of the suffering that awaited Him.

This meditation also explores another remarkable theme in John's Gospel—the inseparable connection between **the Lamb and the Light**. The One who bears away the sin of the world is also the Light who overcomes its darkness. The Gospel that begins with *"In Him was life; and the life was the light of men"* concludes in Revelation with the eternal city where **"the Lamb is the light thereof."**

Join us as we follow this magnificent thread through Genesis, John, and Revelation, discovering how the perfection of Christ's Person alone made possible the perfection of His work, and why throughout eternity the redeemed will forever behold **the glory of God shining in the face of the Lamb.**
