John the Baptist points to Jesus as the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. In this homily, Fr. Miguel explores what that title means in light of Scripture, from the Old Testament prefigurations of sacrificial lambs to Christ’s ultimate act of love on the cross.
We are reminded of the depth of Jesus’ obedience, His suffering for all humanity, and the redemptive power of His sacrifice. Far from just a ritual phrase in the Mass, the Lamb of God reveals God’s initiative in our salvation, calling us to recognize and respond to His love with gratitude and generosity.
