Someone said about Jesus, "Look, the lamb of God!" Why call a man a lamb? That takes us back to the very beginning. And it also takes us forward to the very end, where a lamb is on the throne.

This sermon comes from a trained chemical engineer, so once again we get science, art, and spiritual truth.
