The Lord makes us like lambs lead to the slaughter, like innocent lambs.
It is like a father saying to his little son, who is pure and innocent, ''My son, now you must go out into the world, and you will be hated, and mocked, and killed.''
I can see the son asking the father, ''But father, why do they hate me? I have done nothing to them?''
And I can see the father saying, ''Because they hate me my son, so they will hate you also.''
How innocent and precious is that son, unspotted, beautiful.
How beautiful is that Lamb of God, Jesus Christ. I can see the lamb afraid as he is going up the side of the mountain to be offered as a sacrifice of love for a strange people. And what did that innocent Son do to deserve it. What pain of love gripped the Father to see his Son taken captive in another man's captivity.
We killed him without cause. He was truly bruised for our iniquities, and the chastisement of our peace was on him. The precious innocent Lamb of God.
LORD, WE ARE LIKE LAMBS LEAD OUT. LIKE INNOCENT LAMBS, LEAD TO THE SLAUGHTER. IF IT IS YOUR WILL, LET THIS CUP PASS US BY, BUT NOT OUR WILL LORD, YOUR WILL BE DONE!
LORD, THEY HATE US WITHOUT CAUSE, BECAUSE WE ONLY SPEAK WHAT YOU HAVE GIVEN US TO SPEAK. WE ARE HATED AND MOCKED AND KILLED ALL DAY LONG. BUT DELIVER US FROM THE HANDS OF OUR ENEMIES LORD, WHO SURROUND US. AND INTO YOUR HANDS WE WILL COMMIT OUR SPIRITS!
FORGIVE THEM FATHER! HAVE TENDER MERCIES LORD! AMEN!
