The Blood of the Lamb and the Light in Their Eyes
By Rozann Lee
The innocence and purity of Christ is depicted in the gentle lamb’s soft, white wool, and in his serene face, with eyes softly closed as ravenous wolves take their first bite, ready to tear him limb from limb. His self-emptying love increases the divine life within us, and our eyes glow magnificently as we consume him, the Lamb.
