Saints, you too have a Lamb and he follows you everywhere you go. I’m talking about Jesus, the Lamb of God. His innocent blood was shed to provide salvation and escape from death. People wonder “What motivated this Lamb’s love?” You did!!!!  He willingly became our SACRIFICE, our SAVIOR, our SYMPATHIZER.

• SYMPATHIZER – Through His own experiences, He is able to share our sorrows and tears
