Ep. 339 An Interdisciplinary Commentary on the Gospel Accounts of Jesus Christ: Installment 5, the Lamb of God

Bob covers John 1: 19-31 in his Bible commentary series. He states that a lamb was not a “scapegoat” in terms of Jewish animalistic sacrifice for the propitiation of sins (using an RC Sproul clip to explain). Then Bob gives various justifications for the use of a sacrificial lamb, since it seemingly violates our intuitive sense of justice.
