Man was never without a means of
salvation: the sacrifice of a lamb in all ages, in both covenants.
The progression from the lamb
slaughtered in the garden to the final offering of the Lord Jesus on the altar
of God’s love and divine justice at Golgotha afforded a powerful witness to the history of
redemption that was God’s plan and initiative in the timeline of history, even
before the creation of the world by the Word of God.
From the gates of heaven to the
portals of eternal damnation spans the power of the Lamb of God to take away
sin in exchange for a paradise restored for those who would believe unto
repentance and commitment to God.
For the depth of the sacrifice and
its availability to all who have ever walked this earth, no other option
remains for the sinner, and at the end of days he would be declared guilty and
without excuse.
