The next day John saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "There is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

"Turn to me now and be saved, people all over the world! I am the only God there is.

The LORD said, "I was ready to answer my people's prayers, but they did not pray. I was ready for them to find me, but they did not even try. The nation did not pray to me, even though I was always ready to answer, 'Here I am; I will help you.'

I have always been ready to welcome my people, who stubbornly do what is wrong and go their own way.

Let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, on whom our faith depends from beginning to end. He did not give up because of the cross! On the contrary, because of the joy that was waiting for him, he thought nothing of the disgrace of dying on the cross, and he is now seated at the right side of God's throne.

it was the costly sacrifice of Christ, who was like a lamb without defect or flaw.

He had been chosen by God before the creation of the world and was revealed in these last days for your sake.
