Agnus Dei

A worship song by Michael W. Smith. The term Agnus Dei refers to Jesus, the Lamb of God. In John 1:29, we read of John the Baptist who on seeing Jesus from a distance, declares, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!" And this term would have made sense to the Jews, who celebrated the Passover feast in remembrance of God who delivered them from slavery out of Egypt. It was the blood of the lamb smeared on the doorpost that ensured that the angel of death "passed over" their home, sparing their firstborn.

And Jesus is our Passover Lamb, whose sacrifice on the cross has ensured that for those who believe in Him, repent and submit their lives under His rule, the death penalty of sin is no more. His shed blood washes away our sin, and His righteousness is instead imputed on us. God sees us through His perfect Son, and declares us clean on His behalf. Holy are You Lord God Almighty! Worthy is the Lamb!
