I may well be wrong about this, but my understanding is that Jesus offered Himself as the true Lamb of God, as a true and complete sacrifice. In regards to the spotless Victim, please recall that only a pure spotless lamb was considered a worthy sacrifice. At the time of the Exodus from Egypt, the believers homes were covered by the blood of the spotless lamb. This ensured that they were saved from the punishments of the plagues, and this is what Jesus sacrificed for us, to gain our entry into the “Promised Land” of Heaven. This is how I understand it. I’m not a theologian however, and I realize I may be mistaken. So forgive me for any errors on my part.

That’s my belief also. Except for the word “Victim” which may apply to the sacrificial animals of the Old Testament but absolutely does not apply to Jesus of Nazareth in the New Testament.

Thank you for your sincere reply.

And remember, The Lord is not seeking just theologians; He also has said we have to come to Him as a little child, through Christ alone, believing and trusting fully in the Father. Jesus showed us perfectly what He is like.
