What is John revealing about Jesus when he says: Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world?
God our father loves us tremendously. He wants his home to be a place of belonging, security, safety, Providence, faith, but also of justice. When we experience the love of the father we don’t just feel obliged to give back, we desire to give from the abundance we have received.
