98, 10-8, SHOW  NOTES & COPYRIGHTS,  (Scheduled 4/6/2023)                       Today we are reading and discussing 3 poems about Jesus, the Lamb of God, what He has done for us and the blessings that we receive as we receive as we believe that Jesus is the Son of God, lived on the earth as one of us, a life without sin, took the sins of the world upon Himself, as called to by His Father, a death that was the final sacrifice God required for the forgiveness of man’s sins.  If we will believe we will receive everlasting life in Heaven with our Savior.THE GATHERING LAMBPage 110 God’s Rhyme“We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.  Isaiah 53:6, NIVThe Lamb of God, with God before time,perfect, as is God, in every way,before the words were written in linesJesus, the unblemished Lamb was there.Jesus and God, with the Holy Spirit,indivisible, the Trinity;so the Lamb of God is also God,who saves our souls for eternity.We, living on this earth, a herd of sheep,we wander, are lost not knowing the cost,not knowing, we cause a pain so deepthat God sent Jesus to find and save us.An earthly shepherd has a special one,one of the herd that seeks the wandering, those sheep that are lost, that have gone astray,returning them home before the day is done.Our Heavenly Master has sent His Sonto find the lost and to gather the strays,to bring us home before the end of days.The Lamb of God, a never ending search.            Before we knew Him            He knew who we were,            He knew our thoughts,He knew our prayers.And He knew of our rebellion,Before, He has always known.Yet He loves us stilland He always will.He sent His Sonto be the onethat would seek us outeven as we doubt.He sent His Son to gather us in,the unblemished Lamb, the Sacrifice,to pay the price, to die for our sinsso that with God we are finally put right!.Reflection:The result of Bible study.  The lamb who gathers us in, who died for our sins.Discussion:THE LAMB OF GODPage 14, Living in Gods Rhyme“Do not weep!
