Looking to this Lamb! by William Mason

(William Mason, "A Spiritual Treasury") "Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!" John 1:29 To continually behold this Lamb of God--is life to our souls, and death to our sins! Sin cannot terrify with its guilt, nor prevail in its power-- while the heart is looking to this Lamb! Thus to behold--is to be happy. Thus to look-- is to be holy. May this, O my soul, be your daily employment below, until you behold the Lamb in the midst of the throne above! Astonishing mystery! Thanks to the gracious Father--for the gift of this precious Lamb! Thanks to this holy Lamb --for bearing and taking away sin! Thanks to the loving Spirit--for showing this Lamb to poor sinners and myself! "I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing in the center of the throne!" Rev. 5:6 link
