John 1:29 lamb of god who takes away the sin of the world-lambs were not sacrifices In John, he is killed on the day when the Passover Lamb is sacrificed (for a helpful chart on this, In fact, Jesus clearly and repeatedly states that he lays down his life of his own accord. He has the power to lay it down and the power to take it up again (10:17-18). No, John simply piles up metaphors on Jesus to impress upon you the significance, identity, and ultimacy of Jesus. He is simultaneously the Lamb of God and the Good Shepherd (chapter 10) who knows his sheep and who asked Peter to feed his lambs (chapter 21).The Greek verb is meno: abide, remain, endure, continue, dwell, in the sense of permanence or stability. John the Baptist recognizes Jesus when the Holy Spirit remains (meno) upon him (John 1:32). He promises that he will abide (meno) in those who abide (meno) in him (John 15:4-10).

It is really a house or family sacrifice, and each household is regarded as constituting a small community in itself, not only because the lamb is eaten at home, but also because every member of the family is obliged to partake of the meal, The fact that the paschal lamb might be killed only at the central sanctuary of Jerusalem, on the other hand, implies that each household was but a member of the larger community; What matters, I think, is that the phrase “lamb of God” does not point easily and simply to a single symbolic referent. Rather, it weaves this chance encounter with Jesus into the whole variegated tapestry of Jewish Scripture. The lamb is eaten, w for sin-revealed mediated vision of the baptism name change as change of ID-Baptizes with the holy spirit. In our tradition spirit baptism occurs within the sacrament of baptism.I realize that baptism has little relevance for us, except in some minds it is a talisman against going to Hell. It seems so small and insignificant as we have lost the power of symbol and ritual.
