Which biblical writer uses the phrase 'the Lamb of God'?
John is the only biblical writer who uses the phrase 'the Lamb of God.' He employs it in his Gospel, where he writes, 'Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world,' and again in Revelation, where the Lamb stands in the midst of the throne.
Les explains that John is the only biblical writer who uses the phrase 'the Lamb of God.' He notes that Paul does not use it, and the Gospels do not use it except John. The expression appears in John's Gospel—'Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world'—and again in Revelation, where John describes a Lamb standing in the midst of the throne, the four living creatures, and the elders. Les points out that this Lamb is slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits seen in Isaiah chapter 11. He connects this to the Lion of the tribe of Judah, Christ, who prevails to open the scroll.
