THE WRATH OF THE LAMB

Scripture: Rev. 6:12-17

1. The Lamb is Christ
   1. The Lamb symbolizes Christ as man’s Savior Who accomplished redemption.
   2. Whenever the Bible refers to Christ as the Lamb, it alludes to His being the Savior for the redemption of man.
2. The tender love of the Lamb
   1. Whenever the Bible mentions the Lamb, there is the thought of tender love conveyed.
   2. The way Christ appears as the Lamb is also tender-loving.
   3. When Christ was being offered up for the redemption of man, He was like a lamb being led to the slaughter; He was without murmuring or hatred.
   4. When Christ bore man’s sins on the cross, He was the Lamb full of tender love.
3. The wrath of the Lamb
   1. While the Lamb was tender-loving for the redemption of man, Revelation 6 refers to the wrath of the Lamb.
   2. The wrath of the Lamb is not caused by man’s sins, but by man’s unbelief and rejection. Even though man is sinful, God is able to redeem him; but man’s unbelief and rejection kindle God’s wrath.
4. The time of the wrath of the Lamb
   1. The time of His wrath will be at the end of this age.
   2. There is the possibility that the age could end at any moment.
5. The consequence of the wrath of the Lamb
   1. When the Lamb is wroth, the heavens and the earth will be turned upside down and men will be struck with sudden terror and fear.
   2. All those who heard the gospel and did not believe, but rather rejected Him, will be in that calamity.
6. How to escape the wrath of the Lamb
   1. Do not put off confronting God until tomorrow. Tomorrow may be the day of His wrath. Repent and believe in Him today.
   2. Today you can receive Him as the loving Lamb. Confess that He is your Savior and open your heart to Him.
