Sheep are four-legged animals with thick, woolly hair. God told the Israelites to sacrifice physically perfect sheep and lambs to God. + +The words “Lamb of God” are used to talk about Jesus (see: John 1:29, 36; see also Revelation 5:6-13). Jesus was the sacrifice for people’s sins (see: 2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 Peter 1:19). He was a perfect sacrifice because he was completely without sin (see: Matthew 5:17; Galatians 4:4; Hebrews 4:15; 1 Peter 2:22). + +The Bible also talks about the “wedding feast of the Lamb” (see: Revelation 19:6-9). This is a way of talking about Christians celebrating and living with Jesus forever. This will happen after Jesus defeats Satan (see: Revelation 21:1-4; 22:1-5). + +See: Israel; Sacrifice; Metaphor; Atone (Atonement); Save (Salvation); Sin; Incarnation; Wedding; Marriage
