Why is Jesus called the Lamb who is worthy? Scripture shows that Old Testament animal sacrifices were only shadows pointing to Christ’s perfect atonement. Hebrews explains they could never remove sin, but Jesus, the Lamb of God and Lion of Judah, became the final sacrifice who redeems and reconciles us to God. In Revelation, all creation declares, “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain,” for He alone saves and judges righteously.
