John 1:29   PASSOVER LAMB of sacrifice for sin

Why was Christ depicted as or called a "lamb"?  A: "Passover Lamb" see Exodus 12:1-13

Why were sacrifices needed?  see Lev. 1:1-9 as an example of O.T. sacrifice system to cover sin on behalf of the person

Blood of Christ - sacrifice  see 1 Pet. 1:18-19

No longer any sacrifice  - see Heb. 10:18

Why was Christ the last sacrifice when blood sacrifices only covered over sin?  A: see Jn. 1:29 - takes away sin, not just covers it over

O.T. predictions of Christ's sacrificial death - see Is. 53 - esp. vv. 5,7,10  -- written about 700 yrs before Christ

From this passage, what was Jesus' main mission?
