Himself THE Lamb

Note to Self:
In Genesis 22:8, Abraham says, "God will provide for Himself THE lamb..."

I like this. This verse subtly stresses that He/God/Jesus is THE Lamb that He Himself is providing that will eventually be sacrificed.

THE lamb, that God Himself provided, for Himself, was sacrificed in that same exact location 1000s of years later, in my place, as payment for my sins against Him, that He has always known I couldn’t pay. God Himself, gave up the glory of Heaven, packaged Himself in the physical confines of a human body and then came down to where I live and was born. He was born in order to be the perfect man, in order to fulfill the contract that He had made with mankind through Israel that could NEVER save me from the just punishment I so deserve as a law-breaker. He did all this so that He could legally write up a new contract that would save me. He loves me that much.

I like this a lot!
