Prophetic pictures and references to the coming Lamb of God are scattered throughout the Bible’s Old Testament. Many times we read about the importance of sacrificing a lamb, an innocent lamb without blemish to atone for sins. The stories of Abraham (Genesis 22) and the Passover (Exodus 12-13) are important examples.
Christ became that innocent lamb to take away our sins. Since Jesus’ crucifixion sacrificing a lamb is no longer needed.
“The next day John (the Baptist) saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29)
“For Christ, our Paschal lamb, has been sacrificed.” (1 Corinthians 5:7)

Agnus
Dei ist lateinisch und bedeutet "Lamm Gottes". Das Lamm ist oft ein
Symbol für Christus, symbolisiert Reinheit, Demut und Opfer, Sanftmut des
Charakters, Geduld im Leiden.
Prophetische Bilder und Verweise auf das kommende Lamm Gottes sind im ganzen Alten Testament der Bibel verstreut. Viele Male lesen wir über die Bedeutung der Opferung eines Lammes, ein unschuldiges Lamm ohne Makel für Sünden zu büßen. Die Geschichten von Abraham (Genesis 22) und dem Paschamahl (Exodus 12-13) sind wichtige Beispiele.

Christus wurde dass unschuldige Lamm, das unsere Sünden wegnahm. Seit der Kreuzigung Jesu ein Lamm zu opfern ist nicht mehr benötigt.
"Am nächsten Tag Johannes (der Täufer) sah Jesus auf sich zukommen und sagte:" Seht! Das Lamm Gottes, das hinweg nimmt die Sünde der Welt! " (Johannes 1:29)
"Denn Christus, unser Osterlamm, wurde geopfert." (1 Korinther 5:7)

Christa, while searching for some new ideas/ designs for this year's Chrismon Tree @Church, I came upon your site.
Your patterns are beautiful and so well detailed. The Wheat though, is GENIUS!
It is my new favorite by far. I used materials I had, and combined it with the white felt & glitter-glue designs we have used previously.
I would love to show you my interpretation, but don't see how to paste an image here.
Thank you for your very generous sharing of your Talents!
Mary Christmas!

Thank you so much for your nice comments. Every one of my patterns have my email address. I would love to see your versions of my patterns and any other Chrismons you have done. Please email me. I would love seeing it.
Blessings,
Christa
I think the lamb is so precious. It was harder than it looks. The second time it was easier. The beads forming the belly were tricky, but necessary. Thanks.
I think that is true with almost anything. It gets easier doing it again. I am happy that you tried it and mostly that you are happy with it. Thanks for writing.
I have posted some photos to facebook and your link.
I would love to see them but can't find you. Can you please add me to your post or whatever it's called. Thanks. So happy you find my patterns helpful.
