“Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:19b ESV)
Remember this, “your life is hidden with Christ in God” (Colossians 3:3b). When God looks at you, He sees Jesus first. In the Chinese language the word for righteousness is a combination of two characters, the figure of a lamb and a person. The lamb is on top, covering the person. Whenever God looks down at you, this is what He sees: the perfect Lamb of God covering you.
