On a little church in Germany stands a stone lamb which has an interesting history. When some workmen were engaged on the rood of the building, one of them fell to the ground. His companions hastened down expecting to find him killed. They were amazed, however, to see him unhurt. A lamb had been grazing just where he struck the ground, and falling upon it, the little creature was crushed to death, while the man himself escaped injury. He was so grateful for this wonderful deliverance, that he had an image of the lamb carved in stone and placed on the building as a memorial. The lamb saved his life by dying in his place.
Every saved soul of the human family can point to the Lamb of God, and say, “I am saved because Jesus died in my stead.” “Christ, our Passover, is sacrificed for us.” What memorial have we set up to witness to our gratitude and love?
