Lamb Of God Quotes

“My alcoholism is in no way any sort of excuse for any of my past behaviors. Just because I quit drinking, my life was not suddenly transformed into a tabula rasa-if I have wronged someone, drunk or not, then the responsibility for this lies squarely with me. And I must do my best to set things square with that person. ...
....And just because I am sober now does not mean anyone else should care. I do not deserve a cookie for finally trying to act like a decent human being.”
― D. Randall Blythe, Dark Days: A Memoir

“The fact of the matter is that when I drink, I am 100 percent certifiably insane. Hopelessly, utterly, undeniably bat shit crazy. I do things that are abhorrent to me; anathema to my nature, my morals, and my upbringing. And once I start, I cannot stop the craziness. It just spirals on and on, ever downward, until I die or hit rock bottom. And even at rock bottom, despite all evidence that I should stop, I will grab a cold beer and a pick ax and keep digging deeper. It's insane. The only way I know to not be crazy is just not to drink.”
― D. Randall Blythe, Dark Days: A Memoir

“Jesus was able to die as the Lamb of God to take away the sins of the world because He was without sin. He was qualified to be an adequate substitute so mankind doesn't have to die but instead can receive the forgiveness of sins.”
― Henry Hon, ONE: Unfolding God's Eternal Purpose from House to House

“It was not said, "When I see you happy in your houses, or with gratitude in your hearts, I will pass over you;" but, "When I see the blood.”
― Stevenson Blackwood

“Inspired by the Book of Leviticus, the artist saw the goat as an archetype for Jesus Christ, the "suffering servant of God," who carried our sins with his cross as an act of redemptive suffering. Thus, the Lamb of God is the Last Scapegoat.”
― M. Wakefield, Narcissistic Family Dynamics: Collected Essays

“And so is this figure,
Who drives, reins in, and is carried.

Is it not so? - hunted and then broken in,
This wiry and tough nature of Being?
The path and the turning: And yet an impulse, comprehended:
New horizons. And the two become one.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke, Sonnets to Orpheus

“And the lamb requests his little bell,
Out of the greater quietude of his instinct.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke, Sonnets to Orpheus

“Kuna vitu vitatu ndani ya mtu: kuna hiari, kuna ufahamu, na kuna mwili. Hiari inatawaliwa na Mungu; ufahamu unatawaliwa na malaika mwema; mwili unatawaliwa na nyota lakini chini ya usimamizi wa malaika wema: malaika wema walisimamisha jua na mwezi kwa ajili ya Yoshua na wana wa Israeli juu ya Gibeoni na katika bonde la Aiyaloni, walirudisha jua nyuma kwa ajili ya Hezekia mfalme wa Yuda na kwa ajili ya nabii Isaya, na waliifanya dunia ‘kuvaa koti’ ghafla wakati wa kusulubiwa kwa Mwanakondoo wa Mungu Anayeondoa Dhambi. Moyoni ni mahali patakatifu. Hata malaika wema hawawezi kuona ndani ya moyo wa mtu, ni Mungu pekee mwenye uwezo wa kufanya hivyo, na alichokihifadhi Mungu ndani ya moyo huo ni hiari ya mtu ya kuchagua mema au mabaya.”
― Enock Maregesi

“Jesus was able to die as the Lamb of God to take away the sins of the world (John 1:29), because He was without sin (Heb. 4:15). He was qualified to be an adequate substitute so mankind doesn't have to die (1 Pet. 3:18), but instead can receive the forgiveness of sins (Matt. 26:28).”
― Henry Hon, ONE: Unfolding God's Eternal Purpose from House to House

“the sinner that trusts in Jesus is one who shelters himself under the blood—he flees for refuge to it”
― Stevenson Blackwood

“In my sin, my name began to fade in the sacred book before the Lamb as I dared to lift my eyes in wicked pride looking upon a cross I did see the sights of Jesus paying the price for me bowing my head in most profound humility a voice cried out to me I did this for you and my fading name was seen again for the Lamb was slain so I could see again!”
― John M. Sheehan, What Lies Beneath Us

“I believe vegetarians will stop drinking this lamb's blood. Thus, become less religious.”
― Mwanandeke Kindembo
