The Lamb is Christ

Another exceptional Slice from RZIM. Here is the opening paragraph:

"Ralph Wood, professor of theology and literature at Baylor University, once asked a group of seminary students to compare two individuals: an astute collegian who tells you insistently that sin and the fall of man are fallacies invented by the superstitious, and a young pagan in a remote village whom you find in the woods sacrificing a chicken on a makeshift altar. "Which man is farther from the truth?" he asked. The students hemmed and hawed but hesitantly agreed that the pagan boy, however primitively, understood something the other did not. There is a need in our lives for atonement. There is a need for blood." Read full slice...
